Help me pay for a craniotomy at Riyadh Orthopedic Institute

Saeed needs a craniotomy at Riyadh Orthopedic Institute and the family is $2,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

In April I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Riyadh Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,450 short. Doctors at Riyadh Orthopedic Institute told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $2,450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,200 • Post-operative medication: $160 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Saeed
