Health Insurance for Hip Replacement
Donation protected
One rainy night in October of 2015, my 24yr old boyfriend Chris fell off his bicycle on our way home. Weeks passed with his pain getting worse. After numerous visits to the hospital, with no action he was finally diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis of his left hip.
In layman's terms, that means the femur head is no longer receiving blood, causing the bone to rot. Sometimes there are medical treatments to prevent the decay, but unfortunately Chris's femur head collapsed prematurely within months of the accident. This means he cannot walk or stand for a long time without having severe pain. Sleeping is virtually impossible without waking up from pain. Or sometimes the pain is so horrible he will have a seizure that causes him to pass out for a few hours.
To go from an athletic ball of energy that used to walk the entire island that is his hometown, to not being able to leave the house without prepping days in advance, has caused a depression he fights every day.
This gofundme is for a years worth of insurance at $400 a month, so $4800. This insurance has a $3000 deductible, doctors appointments are $25, specialist doctors are $50. Hospital visits are 20% after the deductible is paid. It also provides vision and dental, coverage he has not had since he was 18.
This insurance is incredibly necessary to give Chris his way of life back, and the ability to provide for our family's future. The past two years have been rough monetarily, but we made it work. I absolutely cannot afford this insurance, but I will do everything possible to give Chris back stability.
We just need a little help.
