Anushka's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Anushka was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Pune Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Pune Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anushka struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Anushka won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $900 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 Thank you for reading my story. - Shreya
