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

Reza was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Reza struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Reza won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,100 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $320 • Post-operative medication: $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
