ACL reconstruction for Alp: covering what insurance won't

Alp was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Istanbul Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,200 short. my father has been in and out of Istanbul Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alp struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Alp won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,200 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $380 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 Thank you so much.
