Marwan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Mecca Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,400, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,650 short. my father has been in and out of Mecca Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marwan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Marwan 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 $2,650 goes: โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $100 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Dina

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marwan

    • Dina Lina NassarOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. pre-operative tests and imaging is the big one at $250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Hope things get better soon, Dina. Wishing Marwan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
