Surgery fund for Javeria: hip replacement surgery in Lahore

Javeria needs hip replacement surgery at Saint Francis Hospital and the family is $800 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
