Help Praveen pay for septoplasty at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute

Praveen was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $550 short. my husband has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Praveen struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Praveen won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Krishnan
