Jorge needs ACL reconstruction at Saint Luke Hospital and the family is $750 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jorge was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since July. 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 $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jorge 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Jorge 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 $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $200 • Post-operative medication: $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sergio

  • hope it all works out, Sergio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
