Anitha's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Anitha needs spinal decompression surgery at Durgapur Community Hospital and the family is $950 short of the hospital's estimate.

Anitha was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Durgapur Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short.
my mother has been in and out of Durgapur Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Anitha 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Anitha 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
