ACL reconstruction for Babu: covering what insurance won't

Babu was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Gazipur General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my husband has been in and out of Gazipur General Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Babu struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Babu won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
