Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Mumbai Community Hospital

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Mumbai Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $600, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $450 short. Doctors at Mumbai Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $450 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $240 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Aravind
