Ajay's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Ajay was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In April I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,150 short.
Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $430
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
Thank you so much.

Wishing Ajay a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kochi.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ajay?
take care. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Faisalabad.
good luck, Ajay. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Kochi.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Medellín donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Ajay. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
