Help Stephanie pay for ACL reconstruction at Los Angeles General Hospital
After gallstones with repeated infections, Stephanie was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Stephanie was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in October. The surgeon at Los Angeles General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,400 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Los Angeles General Hospital since October. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Stephanie struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Stephanie won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $4,400 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,290
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Sukkur so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Good luck, Alexa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Los Angeles.
