Liverpool
In July I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Liverpool General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $6,200 short. Doctors at Liverpool General Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $6,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Alexandra
