Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Howrah Orthopedic Institute

Howrah
In November I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Howrah Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,400 short. Doctors at Howrah Orthopedic Institute told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $1,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Quick update: $540 raised so far (39%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($270). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for pre-operative tests and imaging is now scheduled.
