Surgery fund for Nathan: ACL reconstruction in Toulon

Nathan was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in September. The surgeon at Toulon Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,350 short. my father has been in and out of Toulon Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nathan 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Nathan won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $3,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440 • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,330 Thank you for reading my story.
