Salman was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Lahore University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my son has been in and out of Lahore University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Salman struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Salman won't be able to walk without help, 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 Thank you so much.
