Gujranwala
Zara was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in May. The surgeon at Gujranwala University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gujranwala University Hospital since May. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zara struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Zara won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Rukhsar

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($119 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward post-operative medication. - Rukhsar
