Palate reconstruction surgery for Muhammad: covering what insurance won't

Muhammad was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Rawalpindi University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my son has been in and out of Rawalpindi University Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Muhammad struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Muhammad won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $270 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Thanks for reading all this. - Bushra
