A craniotomy for Sapna: covering what insurance won't

Sapna was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in May. The surgeon at Dwarka Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, 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 mother has been in and out of Dwarka Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sapna struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Sapna won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $510 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Aarti
