Nizamabad
Anand was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Nizamabad General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short. my father has been in and out of Nizamabad General Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anand struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Anand 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 $1,200 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $570 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $515 Thank you for reading my story.
