Thulani's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Thulani was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,400 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Thulani 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 4 weeks. During that time Thulani won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,400 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $580 • Post-operative medication: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $515 Thanks for reading all this.
