Surgery fund for Zainab: palate reconstruction surgery in Wollongong

Zainab was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Wollongong General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,250 short. my wife has been in and out of Wollongong General Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zainab struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Zainab won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $5,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $780 • Travel and lodging for the family: $175 • Post-operative medication: $310 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,735 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
