Surgery fund for Laiba: spinal decompression surgery in Faisalabad

Laiba needs spinal decompression surgery at Faisalabad Community Hospital and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.

In November I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Faisalabad Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Faisalabad Community Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Laiba
