Help me pay for knee replacement surgery at Barranquilla University Hospital

In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Barranquilla University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $600, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at Barranquilla University Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer 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 look after the children alone 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 $300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Post-operative medication: $35 Thanks for being kind about this. - Javier
