Zoya was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Faisalabad Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Faisalabad Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zoya struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Zoya won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $360 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 Thank you so much. - Irfan
