Yasemin was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in December. The surgeon at Gaziantep General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,300 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gaziantep General Hospital since December. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yasemin struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Yasemin won't be able to walk without help, 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 $2,300 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $980 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $185 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $950 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 If you're reading this, thank you. - Fatma
