Hira was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Multan Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Multan Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hira struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Hira 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
