Anjana was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Agra Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my wife has been in and out of Agra Community Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anjana struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Anjana won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
