Esra's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $300 of the cost.

Esra was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Bursa Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $300 short.
my mother has been in and out of Bursa Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Esra struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 8 weeks. During that time Esra won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $300 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Physiotherapy sessions: $125
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Embakasi!
