Shafiq was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Narayanganj Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Narayanganj Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shafiq struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Shafiq won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. 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 $600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $15 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
