Gunawan's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill

A scheduled ACL reconstruction in October is out of reach without help covering $800 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 Glad we found this place. - Gunawan
