Rabia was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Lahore Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $800 short. my mother has been in and out of Lahore Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rabia struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rabia won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Every share and every dollar helps.
