Basma was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Cairo General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Cairo General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Basma struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Basma won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 I hope life is good to you. - Wafa
