Alok's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Alok was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in March. The surgeon at Rohini Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short. my father has been in and out of Rohini Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alok struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Alok 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 $700 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Abhishek
