Dipika was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Mumbai Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dipika struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Dipika won't be able to look after the children alone, 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: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 Glad we found this place. - Nilesh
