Help Hala pay for ACL reconstruction at Cairo General Hospital
A scheduled ACL reconstruction in November is out of reach without help covering $500 of the cost.

Hala was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Cairo General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $500 short.
my mother has been in and out of Cairo General Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hala struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Hala won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $500 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Reem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hala.
Sure. The biggest one is travel and lodging for the family, $30. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Wishing Hala a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Praying for you, Reem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Cairo!
