Help Snehal pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Francis Hospital
Snehal needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Francis Hospital and the family is $1,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

Snehal was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in November. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since November. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Snehal struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Snehal won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $360
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Santarém donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Aishwarya. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Gaya.
Keep going, Aishwarya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you peace, Aishwarya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
