Help Devi pay for spinal decompression surgery at Amritsar Community Hospital
A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

Devi was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Amritsar Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my wife has been in and out of Amritsar Community Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Devi 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Devi 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:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.
