Sevgi's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Sevgi was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $900 short.
Doctors at Saint Mary Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 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.
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 $900 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $100
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $550
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Post-operative medication: $75
With deep gratitude,
Sevgi

Good luck, Sevgi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Stockholm.
Rooting for you, Sevgi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Lowell.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Antalya!
Thank you. If you're in Antalya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Take care, Sevgi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
Hang in there, Sevgi. Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Bang Khen.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Antalya.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Antalya
Wishing you peace, Sevgi. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Antalya
