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

Jose was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Allentown University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,900 short. my father has been in and out of Allentown University Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jose 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. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Jose won't be able to walk without help, 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 $5,900 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $720 • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $4,050 • Post-operative medication: $170 With deep gratitude, Rylee
