Lahore

Junaid was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $640, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $450 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $640 is more than we can find. While we wait, Junaid struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Junaid won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $450 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $330 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Thanks for reading all this. - Babar

Updates from Babar

Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($133). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Update from Lahore: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($53 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
