Valve repair surgery for Sajib: covering what insurance won't

In June I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Chattogram General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $630, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Chattogram General Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $630 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Post-operative medication: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
