Surgery fund for Denise: knee replacement surgery in Half-Way Tree
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in August is out of reach without help covering $750 of the cost.

Denise was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Denise struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Denise 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 $750 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $430
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Physiotherapy sessions: $225
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Looking forward to the next update. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
Wishing you the best, Monique. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Paris.
wishing you the best, Monique. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Monique. I hope things turn around soon.
