Surgery fund for Claudia: knee replacement surgery in Rosario

Claudia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Claudia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Claudia won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 I hope life is good to you.
