Help Runa pay for spinal decompression surgery at Gazipur General Hospital
Runa needs spinal decompression surgery at Gazipur General Hospital and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.

Runa was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in January. The surgeon at Gazipur General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short.
my mother has been in and out of Gazipur General Hospital since January. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Runa struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Runa won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
