Waseem's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Waseem was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Lahore General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short. my father has been in and out of Lahore General Hospital since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Waseem struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Waseem won't be able to drive, 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $290 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hussain
