A craniotomy for Hüseyin: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled a craniotomy in January is out of reach without help covering $2,100 of the cost.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye1,159 views
In October I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Üsküdar General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,650, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $2,100 short.
Doctors at Üsküdar General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,650 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $2,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $660
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
• Post-operative medication: $75
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Hüseyin
Quick update: $213 raised so far (10%). the plan for travel and lodging for the family is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($134 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Hüseyin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Dwarka donated after I showed her your page. Love from Dwarka.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hüseyin?
You're not alone, Hüseyin. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Regensburg.
