Surgery fund for Khalid: laparoscopic cyst removal in Luxor

Khalid was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Luxor University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $450 short. my son has been in and out of Luxor University Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Khalid struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Khalid won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $330 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rahma
