Surgery fund for Hatice: hip replacement surgery in Istanbul
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in January is out of reach without help covering $300 of the cost.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye512 views
Hatice was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in November. The surgeon at Istanbul Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $380, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $300 short.
my mother has been in and out of Istanbul Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $380 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hatice 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Hatice won't be able to walk without help, 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 $300 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $90
• Post-operative medication: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
