Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at London Community Hospital
A scheduled ACL reconstruction in October is out of reach without help covering $5,300 of the cost.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,770 views
In August I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $5,300 short.
Doctors at London Community Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $5,300 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310
• Travel and lodging for the family: $370
I hope life is good to you.
