Daniel was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Berlin General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,150 short. my brother has been in and out of Berlin General Hospital since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Daniel struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Daniel won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,410 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Franziska

    Thinking of you, Franziska. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
