Help Walker pay for knee replacement surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital

Walker was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,500 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Walker struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Walker won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Physiotherapy sessions: $720 • Post-operative medication: $320 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
