Iman was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Liverpool General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,200 short.
my sister has been in and out of Liverpool General Hospital since August. 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 $12,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Iman struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Iman won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

what's already covered and what's the $6,200 for?
Surgeon and anesthesia fees is $2,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Thanks for sharing this, Rahma. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Rahma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Varanasi this morning. Take care
Take care, Rahma. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal. God bless.
