Dipu's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Dipu needs valve repair surgery at Nashik University Hospital and the family is $750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India866 views
Dipu was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Nashik University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short.
my father has been in and out of Nashik University Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Dipu 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Dipu won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Rashed. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Love from Reims
Thinking of you, Rashed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

Thinking of you, Rashed. I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dipu?
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Moscow this morning. Blessings!
get well soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Rashed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
good luck, Rashed. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
