Lubna was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Jeddah Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,250 short. my sister has been in and out of Jeddah Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lubna struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Lubna won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,250 goes: • Post-operative medication: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $125 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,885 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Nour

  • Sending good thoughts, Nour. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

    • Hope it all works out, Nour. Wishing Lubna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Wiesbaden.
