Help Aarti pay for knee replacement surgery at Coimbatore Orthopedic Institute
Aarti needs knee replacement surgery at Coimbatore Orthopedic Institute and the family is $700 short of the hospital's estimate.

Aarti was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Coimbatore Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $880, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short.
my sister has been in and out of Coimbatore Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $880 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 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 $700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Post-operative medication: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
