Help Lisa pay for ACL reconstruction at Haarlem Orthopedic Institute

After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Lisa was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lisa was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Haarlem Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Haarlem Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lisa 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Lisa 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 $6,300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,050 • Travel and lodging for the family: $350 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ingrid
