A craniotomy for Noreen: covering what insurance won't

Noreen was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in March. The surgeon at Gujranwala General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $190, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gujranwala General Hospital since March. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $190 is more than we can find. While we wait, Noreen struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Noreen won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Thank you for reading my story. - Moin
