Hip replacement surgery for Nisha: covering what insurance won't

Nisha was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in January. The surgeon at Lalitpur Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Lalitpur Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nisha 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Nisha 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 $450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $305 Thank you so much. - Kamala
