A craniotomy for Taslima: covering what insurance won't

Taslima was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Chattogram Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Chattogram Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Taslima 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 5 weeks. During that time Taslima 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 $600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
