Knee replacement surgery for Anum: covering what insurance won't

Anum needs knee replacement surgery at Rawalpindi University Hospital and the family is $150 short of the hospital's estimate.

Anum was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Rawalpindi University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $150 short. my mother has been in and out of Rawalpindi University Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anum 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 3 weeks. During that time Anum won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Quick update: $45 raised so far (30%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
