Zainab was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Quetta Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Quetta Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zainab struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Zainab won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hassan
