Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Udaipur Orthopedic Institute

Indira needs ACL reconstruction at Udaipur Orthopedic Institute and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Udaipur Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Udaipur Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 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 $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
