Surgery fund for Hakan: valve repair surgery in Bursa

Hakan was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in December. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since December. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hakan 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Hakan 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $165 • Post-operative medication: $95 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
