Help Hudson pay for ACL reconstruction at Charlotte Regional Medical Center

Hudson was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at Charlotte Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $8,800 short. my son has been in and out of Charlotte Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hudson 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Hudson 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 $8,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380 • Post-operative medication: $165 • Physiotherapy sessions: $750 • Travel and lodging for the family: $305 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
