Surgery fund for Nipa: emergency hernia repair in Savar

Nipa was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in March. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $300 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since March. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nipa 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Nipa 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 $300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $15 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $210 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
