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

Grayson was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,000 short. my father has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Grayson struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 7 weeks. During that time Grayson won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,000 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,600 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $430 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400 • Post-operative medication: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
