Garima was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Saket Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saket Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Garima 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Garima won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Pranav
