Take care, Shirin. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Tiruchirappalli this morning
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shirin
Sure. The biggest one is surgeon and anesthesia fees, $360. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Thinking of you, Shirin. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
You're not alone, Shirin. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Cairo.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kolkata.
Wishing Shirin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Saint-Étienne.
