ACL reconstruction for Grayson: covering what insurance won't
After a herniated spinal disc, Grayson was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Grayson was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in April. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,500 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since April. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Grayson struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Grayson won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $5,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,200
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $350
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
I hope life is good to you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Grayson?
Thank you. If you're in Sheffield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best, Logan. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
best of luck, Logan. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Faisalabad this morning. God bless
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
