Shaista was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Rawalpindi Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Rawalpindi Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shaista struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Shaista won't be able to drive, 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Thank you so much.

Updates from Javeria

  1. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($217). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for post-operative medication is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($87 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Rawalpindi: I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
