Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Gazipur Community Hospital

After a benign brain tumor, Rahim was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Gazipur Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Gazipur Community Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Thank you so much.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($164 in total) the plan for pre-operative tests and imaging is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
