Nimra's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in March is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan2,485 views
Nimra was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in January. The surgeon at Faisalabad General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Faisalabad General Hospital since January. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nimra 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 4 weeks. During that time Nimra won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $340
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
