Walid was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Cairo University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $190, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $150 short. my brother has been in and out of Cairo University Hospital since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $190 is more than we can find. While we wait, Walid struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Walid won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Glad we found this place. - Rami
