Surgery fund for Aaron: knee replacement surgery in Glasgow
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in December is out of reach without help covering $4,750 of the cost.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom4,317 views
In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $4,750 short.
Doctors at Saint Matthew Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 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.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $630
• Post-operative medication: $180
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,290
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck, Aaron. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Narayanganj so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Glasgow.
Stay strong, Aaron. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Latina this morning
how is Aaron doing now?
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you. God bless
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Blessings.
