Afshan was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Karachi General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Karachi General Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Afshan 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 8 weeks. During that time Afshan 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $305 With deep gratitude, Muhammad
