Emergency hernia repair for Tamanna: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in November is out of reach without help covering $550 of the cost.

Tamanna was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Jessore Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $550 short.
my wife has been in and out of Jessore Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Tamanna 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Tamanna 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 $550 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $170
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Jessore.
