Help Kunal pay for cataract surgery at Pune Regional Medical Center
A scheduled cataract surgery in March is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

Kunal was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in January. The surgeon at Pune Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my brother has been in and out of Pune Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Kunal struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Kunal won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $245
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this, Payal. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Alexandria
