Surgery fund for Asad: hip replacement surgery in Hyderabad

Asad was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my husband has been in and out of Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Asad struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Asad 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $410 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $15 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Zara
