In July I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Multan General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Multan General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Thank you for reading my story. - Khalid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($263 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hope it all works out, Khalid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Negombo.
