Surgery fund for Tariq: gallbladder removal in Cairo

Tariq was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Cairo University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my brother has been in and out of Cairo University Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tariq struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Tariq won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
