Ayşe was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Bursa Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Bursa Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ayşe struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 6 weeks. During that time Ayşe won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $210 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Post-operative medication: $80 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Duygu
