Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Ahmedabad General Hospital

In August I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Ahmedabad General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $630, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Ahmedabad General Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $630 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver 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 climb stairs 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: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $25 Thanks for reading all this.
