Help Rekha pay for emergency hernia repair at Hubballi Orthopedic Institute
Rekha needs emergency hernia repair at Hubballi Orthopedic Institute and the family is $500 short of the hospital's estimate.

Rekha was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Hubballi Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $710, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $500 short.
my wife has been in and out of Hubballi Orthopedic Institute since July. 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 $710 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rekha struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Rekha won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $500 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $380
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
