Help Rashid pay for spinal decompression surgery at Durban University Hospital

Rashid was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Durban University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Durban University Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rashid struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Rashid won't be able to walk without help, 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Post-operative medication: $100 Thanks for being kind about this.
