Majid's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

A scheduled knee replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $7,750 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $13,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,750 short. Doctors at Los Angeles University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $13,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 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 $7,750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Post-operative medication: $430 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
