Khadija's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Khadija needs knee replacement surgery at Santa Fe Regional Medical Center and the family is $7,400 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 United States6,227 views
In April I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Santa Fe Regional Medical Center 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 $9,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $7,400 short.
Doctors at Santa Fe Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $7,400 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,000
• Physiotherapy sessions: $790
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Khadija. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care!
what exactly is the $7,400 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. pre-operative tests and imaging comes first ($320) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
keep going, Khadija. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Prayagraj.
Stay strong, Khadija. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kasarani but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Santa Fe.
Wishing you the best, Khadija. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Wudil.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. All the best.
