In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Nagpur Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $790, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Nagpur Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $790 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $480 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Jigna

  1. Small update. $181 so far, I made the first payment toward travel and lodging for the family.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($81 in total) the plan for hospital stay is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital stay.
