Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Indore Orthopedic Institute

After a herniated spinal disc, Bhavna was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In February I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Indore Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Indore Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver 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 drive 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 With deep gratitude, Bhavna

Updates from Bhavna

  1. 90% there. the plan for travel and lodging for the family is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($697 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $380 raised so far (38%). I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

        Stay strong, Bhavna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Jaffna.
