Arda was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,600 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Arda struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Arda 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 $1,600 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $550 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $860 Thanks for reading all this.
