Surgery fund for Abdullah: emergency hernia repair in Heliopolis
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Abdullah was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇪🇬 Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt1,200 views
Abdullah was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my son has been in and out of Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Abdullah struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Abdullah won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $360
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
