Surgery fund for Hassan: ACL reconstruction in Faisalabad

In December I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Faisalabad Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Faisalabad Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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: • Post-operative medication: $15 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
