Sanjay was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Edinburgh General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Edinburgh General Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sanjay struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Sanjay won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $3,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Post-operative medication: $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Tanvi
