Surgery fund for Oliver: ACL reconstruction in San Jose
After gallstones with repeated infections, Oliver was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Oliver was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in February. The surgeon at San Jose Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,800 short.
my son has been in and out of San Jose Orthopedic Institute since February. 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 $3,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Oliver struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 10 weeks. During that time Oliver won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $450
• Post-operative medication: $390

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 11 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Adrian. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Negombo this morning. Blessings.
good luck. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Best of luck, Adrian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work. Greetings from Abuja.
Keep going, Adrian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Keep going, Adrian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
