Help Gauri pay for spinal decompression surgery at Pune Orthopedic Institute

Gauri was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Pune Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Pune Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gauri struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Gauri won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 I hope life is good to you. - Anushka
