Jamal's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $1,450 of the cost.
🇲🇦 Casablanca-Settat, Morocco624 views
Jamal was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Mohammedia Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,450 short.
my father has been in and out of Mohammedia Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jamal 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 12 weeks. During that time Jamal 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 $1,450 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $155
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $440
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $785
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Wishing Jamal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Amir. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
take care. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Nagpur.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Epe.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you the best, Amir. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Stay strong, Amir. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mohammedia
good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything
