Marwan was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Dammam Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,100 short. my brother has been in and out of Dammam Community Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marwan 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Marwan 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 $4,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Post-operative medication: $180 • Physiotherapy sessions: $350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sawsan
