Help Zahid pay for valve repair surgery at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute

Zahid was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Dhaka Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short. my husband has been in and out of Dhaka Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zahid struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Zahid won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Bithi
