Knee replacement surgery for Parth: covering what insurance won't

Parth was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in December. The surgeon at Kanpur General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short. my husband has been in and out of Kanpur General 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 $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Parth struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Parth won't be able to drive, 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Glad we found this place. - Manasi
