Rima's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Rima was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Rima was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Riyadh General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,350 short.
my mother has been in and out of Riyadh General Hospital since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rima 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 7 weeks. During that time Rima 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 $2,350 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
• Physiotherapy sessions: $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,250
• Post-operative medication: $230
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Taghreed. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Riyadh.
