Help me pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Indore Orthopedic Institute
Pavithra needs palate reconstruction surgery at Indore Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,100 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India823 views
In September I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Indore Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,100 short.
Doctors at Indore Orthopedic Institute told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $500
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Indore.
Thank you. If you're in Indore I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this, Pavithra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Any update on how things are going in Indore?
Wishing you peace, Pavithra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning. Blessings.
