Jacksonville

Marcus was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,450 short. my father has been in and out of Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marcus 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 3 weeks. During that time Marcus 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 $6,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $520 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Isabella
