Rashid was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Heliopolis University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $250 short. my father has been in and out of Heliopolis University Hospital since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rashid 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Rashid 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 $250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Noor
