Help Venkat pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Ahmedabad Orthopedic Institute
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Venkat was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Venkat was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in January. The surgeon at Ahmedabad Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short.
my father has been in and out of Ahmedabad Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Venkat struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Venkat won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $225
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. Wishing Venkat a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Luxor
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Venkat
It's all in the list in the story. travel and lodging for the family is the big one at $35, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
