Feyza's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In May I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Bursa University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Bursa University Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $900 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $390 • Post-operative medication: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $185 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
