Karan's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Karan was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Karan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Karan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 With deep gratitude, Deepak
