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

Bilal was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Casablanca General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $710, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my husband has been in and out of Casablanca General Hospital since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $710 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bilal struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Bilal won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Post-operative medication: $95 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $255 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Nour
