Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Cox's Bazar Orthopedic Institute

In December I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Cox's Bazar Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Cox's Bazar Orthopedic Institute told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $730 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $65 Every share and every dollar helps.
