Nashik

Harish was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in December. The surgeon at Nashik University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my son has been in and out of Nashik University Hospital since December. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Harish 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 5 weeks. During that time Harish 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Santhosh
