Rabia was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in January. The surgeon at Bursa General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bursa General Hospital since January. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rabia 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rabia 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Gökhan

    Hope things get better soon, Gökhan. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
