Help Aarti pay for cataract surgery at Jalandhar General Hospital

Aarti was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Jalandhar General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my mother has been in and out of Jalandhar General Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Aarti struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Aarti won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $555 Thank you for reading my story.
