Federica's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Federica was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇹 Salerno, Campania, Italy6,588 views
Federica was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in February. The surgeon at Salerno Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,200 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Salerno Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Federica struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Federica won't be able to drive, 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 $6,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,900
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $195
• Post-operative medication: $125
• Physiotherapy sessions: $610
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
With deep gratitude,
Alessia

Thanks for sharing this, Alessia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Federica.
It's all in the list in the story. surgeon and anesthesia fees is the big one at $2,900, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
rooting for you, Alessia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Alessia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Salerno!
Thank you. If you're in Salerno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Salerno.
Rooting for you, Alessia. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Salerno.
