Help Yolanda pay for ACL reconstruction at Riverside Orthopedic Institute
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Yolanda was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Yolanda was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in March. The surgeon at Riverside Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Riverside Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yolanda struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Yolanda won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,300
• Post-operative medication: $240
• Physiotherapy sessions: $810
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $650
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Andrea. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Sheffield
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Christchurch.
Sending good thoughts, Andrea. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Petrópolis.
good luck, Andrea. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
