Vihaan was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my brother has been in and out of Pune General Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vihaan struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Vihaan won't be able to drive, 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 $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $420 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
