Surgery fund for Henri: ACL reconstruction in Paris
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Henri was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Henri was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Paris General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,100 short.
my father has been in and out of Paris General Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Henri struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Henri won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430
• Post-operative medication: $140
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,530
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
sending love, Élodie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal.
Wishing Henri a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Thủ Đức.
