Sayali was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Rajkot University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my wife has been in and out of Rajkot University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sayali struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sayali won't be able to drive, 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
