Surgery fund for Hala: palate reconstruction surgery in Shubra

In April I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Shubra General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $400 short. Doctors at Shubra General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $160 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Hala
