Surgery fund for Zeeshan: palate reconstruction surgery in Rawalpindi
A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan1,295 views
Zeeshan was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Rawalpindi University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my brother has been in and out of Rawalpindi University Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zeeshan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Zeeshan won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $360
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
Thanks for reading all this.
