Surgery fund for Nabil: palate reconstruction surgery in Dammam
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Nabil was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Nabil was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Dammam Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,050 short.
my son has been in and out of Dammam Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nabil 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Nabil 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 $3,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,350

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nabil?
Thank you. If you're in Dammam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
thinking of you, Amal. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. God bless.
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Da Nang donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Nairobi.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nabil.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($1,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
sending strength, Amal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending good thoughts, Amal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Amal. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Gangnam.
Stay strong, Amal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dammam.
