<div>My name is Wei Guan, a single mother from China. I came to Toronto two years ago to care for my 16-year-old daughter, who was battling severe depression after immigrating here to live with her father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I raised her alone in China after my divorce, while also caring for my mother with dementia. When her school asked me to come, I left everything behind to be with her. I rented the smallest room I could afford so as not to disrupt my ex-husband’s life, and I spent every week cooking for her, talking with her, and helping her slowly recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just when my daughter’s condition began to stabilize, tragedy struck. In June 2025, I suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage. I was rushed to the hospital, underwent two brain surgeries, spent three weeks recovering—including five days in ICU—and miraculously survived, thanks to the incredible doctors and nurses.

<div>Why I Need Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a visitor to Canada, I am not covered by public healthcare. Private insurance was far too expensive, and I never imagined such a medical crisis would happen. Now, I am left with over $150,000 in hospital bills I cannot pay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Worse still, my treatment is not finished. I need a third surgery to replace two pieces of my skull that were removed during the earlier operations. The hospital requires me to pay upfront for CT scans, pre-surgery tests, surgery, and hospitalization before I can proceed. Without this surgery, my life is still at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Struggle
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I came here to support my daughter’s fragile mental health. Instead, I find myself weak, in debt, and fighting for my life. My wonderful church community has helped me with meals, appointments, and prayers—but the financial burden is far beyond what I can manage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than anything, I feel deep guilt that instead of caring for my daughter, I have become a burden to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am humbly asking for your help. Every dollar you give will go directly toward my medical bills and the life-saving surgery I urgently need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your kindness can keep me alive, allow me to continue supporting my daughter, and give us both hope for the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and prayers.
</div>
