A scheduled gallbladder removal in November is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.

Dipesh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Dharan Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short.
my son has been in and out of Dharan Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Dipesh struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Dipesh won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $320
• Post-operative medication: $20
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thinking of you, Mina. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 22 people at work. Love from Rohini.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Hope you get there. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
