Surgery fund for Rukhsar: laparoscopic cyst removal in Lahore
Rukhsar needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Lahore University Hospital and the family is $850 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan920 views
In November I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Lahore University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $850 short.
Doctors at Lahore University Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope it all works out, Rukhsar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Lahore.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Kasarani.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Austin
