Surgery fund for Michel: hip replacement surgery in Salé

Michel was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Salé Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short. my son has been in and out of Salé Regional Medical Center since August. 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 $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Michel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 7 weeks. During that time Michel won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $75 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
