Help Elias pay for knee replacement surgery at Savannah Community Hospital

Elias was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Savannah Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,500 short. my husband has been in and out of Savannah Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elias struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Elias won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $960 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Faith
