Nadeem was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in September. The surgeon at Karachi University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $500 short. my son has been in and out of Karachi University Hospital since September. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nadeem struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 6 weeks. During that time Nadeem won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Anum
