Surgery fund for Hira: gallbladder removal in Lahore

In July I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Lahore Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Lahore Community Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I hope life is good to you. - Hira
