Ketki's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In June I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Saket Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Saket Regional Medical Center told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 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 $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I hope life is good to you.
