Help Zaid pay for hip replacement surgery at Cairo University Hospital
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in July is out of reach without help covering $700 of the cost.

Zaid was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Cairo University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short.
my father has been in and out of Cairo University Hospital since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zaid 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Zaid won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $225
Thanks for reading all this.
