Help Dilani pay for septoplasty at Negombo University Hospital
A scheduled septoplasty in January is out of reach without help covering $550 of the cost.

Dilani was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in October. The surgeon at Negombo University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $550 short.
my mother has been in and out of Negombo University Hospital since October. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Dilani struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 12 weeks. During that time Dilani won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $550 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dilani.
Sure. The biggest one is travel and lodging for the family, $85. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you the best, Hasitha. Wishing Dilani a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Any update on how things are going in Negombo?
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
praying for you, Hasitha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
