Help me pay for spinal decompression surgery at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute

In April I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $250 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Priya
