Roi's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Roi needs knee replacement surgery at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute and the family is $6,400 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $6,400 short.
Doctors at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,400 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $790
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350
• Post-operative medication: $310
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,500
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Roi. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Roi?
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best, Roi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Beersheba.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
