Amal was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Mansoura Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mansoura Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Amal struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Amal won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amal.

      Sure. The biggest one is hospital stay (3 nights), $300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.

    • Our local rotary club has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them!

      • Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. All the best
