Zainab's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Zainab was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Lahore Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short. my wife has been in and out of Lahore Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zainab struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Zainab 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $140 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Saad
