Meltem's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Meltem was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Istanbul General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Istanbul General Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Meltem struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Meltem won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $125 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
