Hussein was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,000 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hussein struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Hussein won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $6,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,450 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $630 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 Thank you so much. - Hassan
