Gabriel was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in December. The surgeon at Charlotte Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,100 short.
my father has been in and out of Charlotte Community Hospital since December. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Gabriel 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Gabriel 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 $6,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,450
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $810
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
