Help Bithi pay for cataract surgery at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute
After a large ovarian cyst, Bithi was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Bithi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short.
my wife has been in and out of Dhaka Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Bithi 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Bithi won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530
• Physiotherapy sessions: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $80
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bucaramanga so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Best of luck, Habib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Bithi?
So sorry you're going through this, Habib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Magelang this morning
thanks for sharing this, Habib. I hope things turn around soon.
hope things get better soon, Habib. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
