Diya was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in May. The surgeon at Prayagraj Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Prayagraj Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Diya struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Diya won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rakesh
