Help Tejas pay for hip replacement surgery at Pune General Hospital

Tejas was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in September. The surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $500 short. my husband has been in and out of Pune General Hospital since September. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tejas struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Tejas won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $370 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 With deep gratitude, Zalak
