Rakib's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Rakib was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Cox's Bazar General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my father has been in and out of Cox's Bazar General Hospital since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rakib struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Rakib 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 $600 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 Thank you for reading my story.
