Help Farhan pay for cataract surgery at Sukkur Community Hospital
After a herniated spinal disc, Farhan was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Farhan was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in December. The surgeon at Sukkur Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short.
my father has been in and out of Sukkur Community Hospital since December. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Farhan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Farhan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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: $300
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $155
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Samina. Shared this with my family. Take care
wishing you the best, Samina. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
rooting for you, Samina. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Sukkur!
How is Farhan doing now?
Best of luck, Samina. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Farhan?
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Farhan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Take care, Samina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Get well soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Samina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
