Gizem was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in January. The surgeon at Breda University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $7,150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Breda University Hospital since January. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gizem struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Gizem won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $7,150 goes: • Post-operative medication: $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,020 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yusuf

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,604 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $2,305 so far, I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts.
