Hi everyone,
We are reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a sincere plea for help. My name is Juls, and my awesome, sweet husband, Kelly, is in desperate need of total knee replacement surgery.
Our Story:
Kelly and I have been married for over nine years, together 15. We've shared countless memories, weathered many, many storms, and always found strength in each other. Kelly has always been the rock of our family – a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a caring friend. However, over the past few years, his mobility has significantly deteriorated due to severe arthritis in his knees and cartilage. He had knee surgery a few years ago that we could barely afford, and now needs a total knee replacement, Despite the pain, Kelly has continued to work and support our family. Unfortunately, his condition has now reached a point where surgery is the only option to restore his mobility, alleviate his pain, and stop him from hurting himself or someone else if the knee gives out completely.
The Challenge:
Kellys employer-provided insurance is woefully inadequate. We are faced with an exorbitant deductible that we need to meet before any coverage kicks in. On top of that, there are the costs of surgery, post-operative care, rehabilitation, medications, and other related expenses.
**Rough Breakdown of Expenses:**
- **Surgery Costs:** $32000. to 53,000.
- **Deductible:** $4500. (Then only 70 % covered) No extras
- **Rehabilitation Therapy:** $500.00-2000.00
- **Medications:** $500.00 -1000.00
- **Post-operative Care:** $3000.00
- **Living Expenses During Recovery:** $4.000
Total: $15,000.00 To 17,000.00
Why We Need Your Help:
We are not young living, we are living week to week, and the financial burden of these medical expenses is overwhelming. We’ve always been self-sufficient and have never asked for help before, but now, we find ourselves in a position where we have no choice but to reach out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted strangers.
**How You Can Help:**
- **Donate:** Any amount, no matter how small , will bring us closer to our goal and make a significant difference.
- **Share:** Please share our story with your network. The more people who know about our situation, the greater the chance we have of reaching our goal.
- **Prayers and Support:** Your emotional support and prayers mean the world to us. Knowing we have a community behind us gives us strength.
In Closing,
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. With your help, we hope to give Kelly the chance to walk pain-free and continue being the wonderful man we all know and love.
Thank you and God bless you,
Kelly & Juls
