Afshan's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Afshan was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $350 short. my mother has been in and out of Faisalabad Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 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 $350 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $300 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Shahid
