Help me pay for knee replacement surgery at Saint-Denis University Hospital
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in May is out of reach without help covering $4,450 of the cost.

In February I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint-Denis University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,500, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,450 short.
Doctors at Saint-Denis University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,500 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 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $4,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,600
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Physiotherapy sessions: $670
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.
