Arjun's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Arjun was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Chennai Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $330, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my son has been in and out of Chennai Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $330 is more than we can find. While we wait, Arjun struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Arjun won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Thanks for being kind about this. - Anand
