Surgery fund for Milon: knee replacement surgery in Savar

Milon was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Savar Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my brother has been in and out of Savar Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Milon struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Milon 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
