Surgery fund for Puja: ACL reconstruction in Gazipur

Puja was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in November. The surgeon at Gazipur Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gazipur Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Puja struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Puja won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Every share and every dollar helps. - Dipu
