Salma was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at Chattogram University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $920, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Chattogram University Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $920 is more than we can find. While we wait, Salma 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Salma 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 $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Post-operative medication: $35 With deep gratitude, Tamanna
