Surgery fund for Radha: ACL reconstruction in Lalitpur

After a herniated spinal disc, Radha was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lalitpur
Radha was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in April. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since April. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Radha 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Radha won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ganga

    So sorry you're going through this, Ganga. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
