Surgery fund for Nida: emergency hernia repair in Gujranwala

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Gujranwala Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Gujranwala Regional Medical Center told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 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 $900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $435 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
