Surgery fund for Samina: laparoscopic cyst removal in Lahore
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in July is out of reach without help covering $500 of the cost.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan504 views
Samina was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $710, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $500 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $710 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Samina 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Samina 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 $500 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $45
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $20
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $315
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Bushra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hang in there, Bushra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Samina?
