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

In February I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Gujranwala University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $600, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at Gujranwala University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer 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 stand for more than ten minutes 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 $300 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Rizwan
