Emergency hernia repair for Diya: covering what insurance won't
Diya needs emergency hernia repair at Rohini Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,250 short of the hospital's estimate.

Diya was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Rohini Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,250 short.
my mother has been in and out of Rohini Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Diya struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Diya won't be able to drive, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $550
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
Keep going, Shweta. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
