Eman's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Eman needs valve repair surgery at Karachi Regional Medical Center and the family is $350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Eman was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in February. The surgeon at Karachi Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $350 short.
my sister has been in and out of Karachi Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Eman struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Eman won't be able to work a full shift, 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:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $230
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Iqra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mbale.
