Knee replacement surgery for Aisha: covering what insurance won't

Aisha was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in March. The surgeon at Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Aisha struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Aisha won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $700 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $480 If you're reading this, thank you. - Saeed
