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

In June I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Aswan Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Aswan Regional Medical Center told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $525 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sawsan
