Surgery fund for Hande: valve repair surgery in Berlin

Hande was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in June. The surgeon at Berlin Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,600 short. my wife has been in and out of Berlin Community Hospital since June. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hande struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Hande won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Post-operative medication: $195 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $245 I hope life is good to you.
