Konya
Berk was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Konya Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my brother has been in and out of Konya Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Berk struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Berk won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,250 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Post-operative medication: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Arda
