Help Emma pay for knee replacement surgery at Fort Worth University Hospital

Emma was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in October. The surgeon at Fort Worth University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Fort Worth University Hospital since October. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emma struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Emma won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $3,500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $670 • Travel and lodging for the family: $460 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,370 Every share and every dollar helps.
