Help Waqas pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Rawalpindi Orthopedic Institute

Waqas was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Rawalpindi Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my husband has been in and out of Rawalpindi Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Waqas struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Waqas won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $155 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
