Emergency hernia repair for Eman: covering what insurance won't
After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Eman was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Eman was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Peshawar University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short.
my sister has been in and out of Peshawar University Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Eman struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Eman 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 $750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $210
• Physiotherapy sessions: $45
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eman!
Sure. The biggest one is travel and lodging for the family, $60. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
sending good thoughts, Hira. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours.
Stay strong, Hira. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Nashik
rooting for you, Hira. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Hira. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Peshawar.
Sending good thoughts, Hira. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Stay strong, Hira. Get well soon.
thinking of you, Hira. Wishing Eman a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Peshawar
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Peshawar.
