Jameson's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in July is out of reach without help covering $6,100 of the cost.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,011 views
In April I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Fresno Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $6,100 short.
Doctors at Fresno Community Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050
• Post-operative medication: $480
• Travel and lodging for the family: $250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $720
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,600
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace, Jameson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Fresno.
Good luck, Jameson. Get well soon. Take care.
You're not alone, Jameson. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
