After gallstones with repeated infections, Sudha was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sudha was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Vadodara University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Vadodara University Hospital since March. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sudha struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Sudha won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $700 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $490 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 With deep gratitude, Kannan
