Help Nour pay for spinal decompression surgery at Jeddah Community Hospital
After a herniated spinal disc, Nour was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Nour was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in September. The surgeon at Jeddah Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,550 short.
my mother has been in and out of Jeddah Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nour struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Nour won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,450
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,050
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310
• Post-operative medication: $200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Zainab. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Gujranwala.
