ACL reconstruction for Zeeshan: covering what insurance won't

Zeeshan was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Lahore Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Lahore Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zeeshan struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Zeeshan won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 Thanks for being kind about this.
