Help Supriya pay for cataract surgery at Mangaluru General Hospital
After gallstones with repeated infections, Supriya was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Supriya was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Mangaluru General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mangaluru General Hospital since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Supriya struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Supriya won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $420
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Supriya?
