Help Padma pay for gallbladder removal at Jaipur University Hospital

Padma was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in November. The surgeon at Jaipur University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $920, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my sister has been in and out of Jaipur University Hospital since November. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $920 is more than we can find. While we wait, Padma struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Padma won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 I hope life is good to you. - Vinod
