Surgery fund for Tuğba: septoplasty in Istanbul

Tuğba was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Istanbul Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,250 short. my daughter has been in and out of Istanbul Community Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tuğba struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Tuğba won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Orhan
