Help Madhu pay for valve repair surgery at New Delhi Community Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Madhu was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Madhu was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in January. The surgeon at New Delhi Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,200 short.
my mother has been in and out of New Delhi Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Madhu struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Madhu won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $260
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70

Updates from Sunita
Good news. Because of your gifts ($711 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $376 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
sending strength, Sunita. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Thane.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Nizamabad.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 33 people at work. Thinking of New Delhi.
