After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Milon was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Milon was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in March. The surgeon at Dhaka Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short.
my husband has been in and out of Dhaka Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Milon struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Milon won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $240
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Ruma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 26 people at work.

how is Milon doing now?
sending strength. Get well soon. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Milon
Surgeon and anesthesia fees is $470 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Keep going, Ruma. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Montgomery.
shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

So sorry you're going through this, Ruma. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Ruma. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
