Swetha was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at New Delhi Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my mother has been in and out of New Delhi Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Swetha 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Swetha 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thank you so much.

    Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 10 people at work.
