In April I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Peshawar Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Peshawar Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $390 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Post-operative medication: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Omer

      Thanks for sharing this, Omer. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Peshawar.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Omer. Hope the doctors have good news

        • Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Peshawar.

          • So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
