Faisal was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Lahore Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my father has been in and out of Lahore Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faisal struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Faisal won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Sumbal

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($670 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($305). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward physiotherapy sessions.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I made the first payment toward physiotherapy sessions.
