Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Lahore University Hospital

After a cleft palate needing repair, Rashid was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Lahore University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $900, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $450 short. Doctors at Lahore University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $900 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Rashid
