Alka was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Muzaffarpur University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Muzaffarpur University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alka struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Alka won't be able to walk without help, 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Muzaffarpur.

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about physiotherapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Good question.
