Hatem's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In April I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Cairo General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $470, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $350 short. Doctors at Cairo General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $470 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 4 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Glad we found this place.
