Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Turin Community Hospital
Emanuele needs ACL reconstruction at Turin Community Hospital and the family is $3,950 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇹 Turin, Piedmont, Italy4,901 views
In November I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Turin Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $3,950 short.
Doctors at Turin Community Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $3,950 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,700
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Post-operative medication: $130
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Emanuele?
Thank you. If you're in Turin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing Emanuele a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going, Emanuele. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Hubballi.
Sending good thoughts, Emanuele. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
