Help Swetha pay for emergency hernia repair at Jalandhar Regional Medical Center
Swetha needs emergency hernia repair at Jalandhar Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

Swetha was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Jalandhar Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my mother has been in and out of Jalandhar Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Swetha struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Swetha won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $490
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
With deep gratitude,
Divya

Sending love. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from El Paso
Praying for you, Divya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
best of luck, Divya. This could happen to any of us. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lyon
Take care, Divya. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Coyoacán so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Gdynia.
