Surgery fund for Zubair: gallbladder removal in Karachi

Zubair was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at Karachi Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Karachi Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zubair struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Zubair won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 I hope life is good to you.
