Karim was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Gazipur General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Gazipur General Hospital since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Karim struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Karim won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $225 Every share and every dollar helps.

      Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rotterdam but we're thinking of you. Take care.
