Adnan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Lahore General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my husband has been in and out of Lahore General Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adnan 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 7 weeks. During that time Adnan 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.
