Help Latha pay for ACL reconstruction at Lucknow University Hospital

Latha was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Lucknow University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my sister has been in and out of Lucknow University Hospital since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Latha struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Latha won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $380 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Vishnu
