Help Lakshmi pay for septoplasty at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute
Lakshmi needs septoplasty at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute and the family is $350 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,310 views
Lakshmi was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $470, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $350 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $470 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lakshmi struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Lakshmi 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 $350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $195
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
