Surgery fund for Bithi: a partial thyroidectomy in Savar

Bithi was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Savar Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $920, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my sister has been in and out of Savar Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $920 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bithi 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 12 weeks. During that time Bithi won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
