Ravi was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at New Delhi University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of New Delhi University Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ravi 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ravi won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $530 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Meenakshi
