Emergency hernia repair for Farah: covering what insurance won't

Farah was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Luxor University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my wife has been in and out of Luxor University Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Farah struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Farah won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Glad we found this place. - Omar
