Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Varanasi Community Hospital
Kiara needs valve repair surgery at Varanasi Community Hospital and the family is $1,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Varanasi Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,850, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,100 short.
Doctors at Varanasi Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,850 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $1,100 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $490
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540
Thank you for reading my story.
