Amal was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Rome Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,800 short. my mother has been in and out of Rome Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Amal struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Amal won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. 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 $3,800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 Thank you so much. - Hadi
