Huda was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in December. The surgeon at Shubra General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Shubra General Hospital since December. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Huda 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 8 weeks. During that time Huda 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: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $610 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
