Surgery fund for Wafa: cataract surgery in Riyadh

Wafa was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Riyadh General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,950, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,150 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Riyadh General Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,950 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Wafa struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Wafa won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,450
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $870
• Physiotherapy sessions: $465
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
