Surgery fund for Olivia: spinal decompression surgery in Liverpool

Olivia was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Liverpool Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Liverpool Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Olivia struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Olivia won't be able to drive, 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 $4,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 Ask me anything below before you decide.
