Help Ali pay for valve repair surgery at İzmir Regional Medical Center

Ali was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at İzmir Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $450 short. my husband has been in and out of İzmir Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ali struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Ali 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 $450 goes: • Post-operative medication: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yasemin
