Eun-woo's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a benign brain tumor, Eun-woo was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Worcester University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,900 short.
Doctors at Worcester University Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $5,900 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,850
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Love from Tallahassee
Take care, Eun-woo. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
