Hussein's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Hussein needs emergency hernia repair at Saint Anne Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hussein was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in December. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since December. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hussein struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Hussein won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $460
• Post-operative medication: $260
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280

Sending love, Samir. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Mecca
Wishing you the best, Samir. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hussein.
take care, Samir. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Chiang Mai donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mecca.
