Kasun was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in May. The surgeon at Kandy General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short. my husband has been in and out of Kandy General Hospital since May. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kasun struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Kasun 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Every share and every dollar helps.
