Ali was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in January. The surgeon at Lahore University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $600 short. my father has been in and out of Lahore University Hospital since January. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ali 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Ali 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kamran

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Ali?
