Rafiq was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Dhaka University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Dhaka University Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rafiq struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Rafiq won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $165 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 I hope life is good to you.
