Mangaluru
Jignesh was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Mangaluru University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Mangaluru University Hospital since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jignesh struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Jignesh won't be able to climb stairs, 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $375 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
