Help Harper pay for ACL reconstruction at Saint Francis Hospital

Harper was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Harper struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 4 weeks. During that time Harper won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $3,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Post-operative medication: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 Every share and every dollar helps. - Marilyn
