Help me pay for a craniotomy at Riyadh Community Hospital
Idris needs a craniotomy at Riyadh Community Hospital and the family is $2,700 short of the hospital's estimate.

In May I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Riyadh Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,700 short.
Doctors at Riyadh Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,400 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,830
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
