Help me pay for a craniotomy at Pune General Hospital

In June I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $440, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $350 short. Doctors at Pune General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $440 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Uma
