Help Jyoti pay for knee replacement surgery at Birmingham Orthopedic Institute

Jyoti was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Birmingham Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Birmingham Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jyoti struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Jyoti won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $2,100 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,540 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
