Help Pavel pay for knee replacement surgery at Jalandhar Orthopedic Institute

Pavel was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Jalandhar Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my husband has been in and out of Jalandhar Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pavel struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Pavel won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Thank you for reading my story. - Nargis
