Cataract surgery for Manoj: covering what insurance won't

Manoj was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Aurangabad University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $650 short. my brother has been in and out of Aurangabad University Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Manoj struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Manoj 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 Thank you so much.
