Valve repair surgery for Fatema: covering what insurance won't
Fatema needs valve repair surgery at Mysuru Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

Fatema was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Mysuru Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Mysuru Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fatema struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Fatema won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $350
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Rakib. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Wishing you the best. Wishing Fatema a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mysuru.
So sorry you're going through this, Rakib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Best of luck, Rakib. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Charlotte.
