Help Mangesh pay for spinal decompression surgery at Saint Catherine Hospital
Mangesh needs spinal decompression surgery at Saint Catherine Hospital and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Mangesh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in January. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since January. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mangesh struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Mangesh won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $230
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $495

Hope it all works out, Siddharth. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you the best, Siddharth. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Wishing Mangesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Siddharth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Hope you get there. After 11 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Sending love, Siddharth. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Guadalupe.
Best of luck, Siddharth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
