Surgery fund for Waqas: septoplasty in Karachi
Waqas needs septoplasty at Karachi General Hospital and the family is $950 short of the hospital's estimate.

Waqas was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Karachi General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short.
my son has been in and out of Karachi General Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Waqas struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Waqas won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $350
Thank you so much.

wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bristol.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Get well soon. Love from Hialeah
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Karachi.
Sending strength, Kiran. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck, Kiran. Hope you get there. Thinking of Karachi.
Praying for you, Kiran. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Multan.
