Faruk was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faruk struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Faruk won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $800 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $325 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sathi
