Quetta
Anum was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Quetta Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $600 short. my mother has been in and out of Quetta Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anum struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Anum 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Thanks for reading all this. - Javeria
