In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Kathmandu General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $710, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Kathmandu General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $710 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $370 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Glad we found this place. - Dinesh
