Marwan was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in June. The surgeon at Riyadh Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,850 short. my father has been in and out of Riyadh Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marwan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Marwan won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $3,850 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $290 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000 • Post-operative medication: $160 With deep gratitude, Nadia

  • Praying for you, Nadia. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bekasi.

    • it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Messina.

        • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from London.

          • Sending strength, Nadia. Wishing Marwan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
