Ibrahim was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Manchester General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,400 short. my husband has been in and out of Manchester General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ibrahim struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Ibrahim won't be able to drive, 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 $2,400 goes: โ€ข Post-operative medication: $195 โ€ข Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,050 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $490 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $350 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $315 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nour

    does the money go straight to the hospital or to you?

    • Nour OsmanOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      It comes to me first, then I pay the hospital myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Thanks for asking.

  • Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

    • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Manchester
