Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Saint Anne Hospital

In June I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $3,000 short. Doctors at Saint Anne Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,000 goes: • Post-operative medication: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $580 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Eli
