Hüseyin's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Hüseyin needs a partial thyroidectomy at Istanbul General Hospital and the family is $1,400 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,135 views
In October I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Istanbul General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,400 short.
Doctors at Istanbul General Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,350 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $1,400 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $420
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $785
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Santa Rosa
Hope things get better soon, Hüseyin. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Istanbul.
hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Gujranwala but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Istanbul.
So sorry you're going through this, Hüseyin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Antalya but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Hüseyin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
So sorry you're going through this, Hüseyin. Wishing Hüseyin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mumbai.
