Hip replacement surgery for Leila: covering what insurance won't

Leila was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Zagazig University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Zagazig University Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections 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, Leila struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Leila 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 $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $560 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Basma
