Surgery fund for Elena: knee replacement surgery in Newcastle upon Tyne

Elena was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in December. The surgeon at Newcastle upon Tyne Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,800 short. my mother has been in and out of Newcastle upon Tyne Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Elena won't be able to walk without help, 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.
