Idowu's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Idowu was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Idowu 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Idowu 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $175 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $5 Thank you so much.
