Gallbladder removal for Rania: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled gallbladder removal in February is out of reach without help covering $2,000 of the cost.

Rania was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in November. The surgeon at Medina Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,000 short.
my mother has been in and out of Medina Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rania 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Rania 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 $2,000 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $105
• Physiotherapy sessions: $250
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $345
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Medina.
Sending good thoughts, Hussein. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Kharkiv.
