Jack's ACL reconstruction privately
Donation protected
Hello, Lindsey here. I hate asking for help but my lovely 14 year old sports mad boy has ruptured his ACL, the main part of his knee. We are 8 weeks down the line and just found out what it is officially. He's been told that the NHS waiting list for surgery is 6 months minimum and then recovery is a year. 18 months minimum without sport. He is truly beside himself, it's all he does. Mentally he is struggling so much. I'm looking to hopefully get some donations so that we may be able to look down the private route as this should be much quicker for him to get done and get on with recovery. I know there are much bigger things in the world going on and he's lucky to have his health other than this but for a boy who lives for sport, his world has come crashing down and he feels he has no purpose. He's also meant to be doing GCSE PE starting next year which is going to be impacted by him not being able to do sports. If we are able to get surgery sooner rather than later then he may be able to still do it and concentrate on the practical side in year 11. He's going to be unable to do anything in year 10. Private ACL surgery is around £9000. We will be doing all we can to help him and get him there but ANY money we raise towards this would be a massive help. Thanks in advance. Every penny will help. Just want my happy, sports mad, full of fun boy back. Working on his mental health as much as I can but I think until he has a surgery date this is going to be hard
