Surgery fund for Malak: hip replacement surgery in Shubra

Malak was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Shubra Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short. my sister has been in and out of Shubra Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Malak struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 6 weeks. During that time Malak won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $560 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
