Help Karthik pay for valve repair surgery at Howrah General Hospital

Karthik was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Howrah General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my brother has been in and out of Howrah General Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Karthik struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Karthik 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 $600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 Thank you so much.
