Surgery fund for Emil: ACL reconstruction in Stockholm
Emil needs ACL reconstruction at Stockholm Community Hospital and the family is $3,650 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden3,227 views
Emil was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Stockholm Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,650 short.
my son has been in and out of Stockholm Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Emil struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Emil won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

rooting for you, Sara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Asaba.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Stockholm
you're not alone. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Khulna
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emil.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. post-operative medication comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong, Sara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
how is Emil doing now?
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Johannesburg
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bergamo.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Emil a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Stockholm!
Good luck, Sara. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 23 people at work. Love from Paris
Wishing you peace, Sara. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
hang in there. Wishing Emil a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Stockholm
