Vidya was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in January. The surgeon at Mumbai General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Mumbai General Hospital since January. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement 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, Vidya struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 12 weeks. During that time Vidya won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Every share and every dollar helps.
