Surgery fund for Iqra: a craniotomy in Sukkur

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Iqra was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sukkur
Iqra was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Sukkur University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $880, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my wife has been in and out of Sukkur University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $880 is more than we can find. While we wait, Iqra struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 10 weeks. During that time Iqra won't be able to walk without help, 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Post-operative medication: $5 Thank you so much.
