Naveed was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Quetta General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $210, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $150 short. my son has been in and out of Quetta General Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $210 is more than we can find. While we wait, Naveed struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Naveed won't be able to drive, 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: $75 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Thanks for being kind about this.
