Lamia was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Comilla University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $950 short. my mother has been in and out of Comilla University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lamia 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Lamia 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Travel and lodging for the family: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Popy
