Surgery fund for Lipi: septoplasty in Dhaka

Lipi was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in January. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $400 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since January. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lipi struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Lipi won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Post-operative medication: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
