After a hernia that has become strangulated, Fahad was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Fahad was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in January. The surgeon at Sukkur General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $400 short.
my son has been in and out of Sukkur General Hospital since January. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fahad struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Fahad won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $400 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $210
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Babar
Wanted to say thank you properly. 100% funded and the plan for physiotherapy sessions is now scheduled.
We're at 98% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward hospital stay. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($207 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Fahad?
Thank you. If you're in Sukkur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out, Babar. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Augsburg.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Chiang Mai.
