Help me pay for spinal decompression surgery at Faisalabad General Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Zubair was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Faisalabad General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $940, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $750 short.
Doctors at Faisalabad General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $940 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 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.
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 $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $240
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
Thank you so much.
