SEVERELY BROKEN ELBOW No Insurance

I have a friend who fell off a ladder last Friday. He is a carpenter by trade and has no insurance. He went to the hospital on Friday and they would only give him a sling. He contacted one doctor who referred him to another doctor in NYC. My boss found a doctor friend on Long Island and she took him there today. It is a very severe fracture that needs a specialist. Unfortunately, he is uninsured and is having a very difficult time trying to get someone to repair it. He is in such pain. If he doesn't get it repaired he is going to be unable to work and earn a living. I'm not sure what it is going to take, but he really needs relief. Anyone who can help, please it would be truly appreciated. I'm putting a dollar amount of $10,000, but I am sure it will be a lot more. Please help he is in such severe pain. Any advice would also be welcome.

Willie finally was operated on at Bellevue in NYC. I am not sure how he is paying for it without insurance. But he had to wait almost 2 weeks before they operated. We are still looking for help for any help that any heroes can give him. Thanks to everyone who have viewed my wish and thank you for your prayers for Willie.

He should be able to apply for adult medically needy insurance and when he has the surgery it should be completely covered. That is unless a lot has changed. Have him check with adult social services in his area.

Has he asked any of the doctors if they offer financial assistance? If his income is under a certain amount he would probably qualify for free care at alot of places. Just a thought
