Bennett's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Bennett was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Houston General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,050 short. my husband has been in and out of Houston General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bennett struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Bennett won't be able to walk without help, 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 $4,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $540 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Victoria
