Help Ravi pay for emergency hernia repair at Coimbatore General Hospital

Ravi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Coimbatore General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $640, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my son has been in and out of Coimbatore General Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $640 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Ravi 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 $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Post-operative medication: $60 Glad we found this place.
