Dilara's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Dilara was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Istanbul
Dilara was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at Istanbul University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Istanbul University Hospital since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dilara 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Dilara 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 $850 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $690 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Post-operative medication: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mehmet
