Help Afshan pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Afshan was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Afshan was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in March. The surgeon at Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $710, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short.
my mother has been in and out of Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $710 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Afshan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Afshan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $500 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $365
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
