Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Mumbai University Hospital

Sundar needs ACL reconstruction at Mumbai University Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Mumbai University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Mumbai University Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 I hope life is good to you.

            Hope things get better soon, Sundar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
