Yasir was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Shubra Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short. my father has been in and out of Shubra Community Hospital since May. 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 $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yasir struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Yasir won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Salma
