Surgery fund for Jerome: ACL reconstruction in Orlando

Jerome was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Orlando Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,200 short.
my husband has been in and out of Orlando Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jerome 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Jerome 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.
Where the $6,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,200
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310
• Post-operative medication: $440
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Josefina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Epe.
Hope it all works out, Josefina. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Alcalá de Henares so I could bring a meal. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Malmö.
thinking of you, Josefina. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Josefina. Shared this with my family
