Surgery fund for Jackson: ACL reconstruction in Greensboro
After a herniated spinal disc, Jackson was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States4,505 views
In April I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Greensboro Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,900, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $3,900 short.
Doctors at Greensboro Regional Medical Center told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,900 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $260
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Greensboro.
Thinking of you, Jackson. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours
Hope it all works out, Jackson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
take care, Jackson. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mangaluru but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Greensboro
