Samina was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in January. The surgeon at Karachi Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $400 short. my mother has been in and out of Karachi Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samina struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 6 weeks. During that time Samina won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. 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 $400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $180 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Arslan
