Shivam was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in October. The surgeon at Liverpool Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $8,150 short. my son has been in and out of Liverpool Community Hospital since October. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shivam struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Shivam won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. 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 $8,150 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $155 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,395 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Yamini

  1. Small update. $2,500 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,583 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
