Surgery fund for Salma: laparoscopic cyst removal in Sylhet

Salma was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Sylhet University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Sylhet University Hospital since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find. While we wait, Salma struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Salma won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Shapla
