Help Radhika pay for gallbladder removal at Kochi General Hospital

After a benign brain tumor, Radhika was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Radhika was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Kochi General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Kochi General Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Radhika struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Radhika won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.
