Taghreed's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After a benign brain tumor, Taghreed was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Heliopolis
Taghreed was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in October. The surgeon at Heliopolis University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my wife has been in and out of Heliopolis University Hospital since October. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Taghreed 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Taghreed 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 $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $660 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
