Help Travis pay for knee replacement surgery at Anaheim Orthopedic Institute

Travis was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in May. The surgeon at Anaheim Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,650 short.
my husband has been in and out of Anaheim Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Travis struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Travis won't be able to drive, 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 $5,650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250
• Post-operative medication: $290
• Physiotherapy sessions: $650
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310

take care, Cynthia. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Madurai
Hope things get better soon, Cynthia. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
Keep going, Cynthia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Anaheim.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
