Arif's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Arif was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Dhaka University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $150 short. my father has been in and out of Dhaka University Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Arif 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 6 weeks. During that time Arif won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ruma
