Shankar was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Agra Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my father has been in and out of Agra Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shankar struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Shankar won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
