Surgery fund for Zara: valve repair surgery in Lahore

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Lahore University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $870, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Lahore University Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $870 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
