Help Alka pay for knee replacement surgery at Agra University Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Alka was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Alka was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Agra University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short.
my sister has been in and out of Agra University Hospital 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 $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Alka struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 10 weeks. During that time Alka won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $270
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Nisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Suwon.
Thanks for sharing this, Nisha. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal. Take care
Stay strong. Wishing Alka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Agra.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
You're not alone, Nisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
