Nimra was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in April. The surgeon at Peshawar Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Peshawar Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nimra struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Nimra 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
