Recep was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Bursa University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,550 short. my father has been in and out of Bursa University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Recep struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Recep won't be able to look after the children alone, 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: $790 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Thank you so much.
