Yasir was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $400 short. my son has been in and out of Faisalabad Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yasir 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Yasir won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Thank you for reading my story.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($157 in total) the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
