Help Sathish pay for cataract surgery at Mumbai University Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Sathish was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sathish was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Mumbai University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my father has been in and out of Mumbai University Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sathish struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Sathish won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $430
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
