Krishna was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at New Delhi Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my husband has been in and out of New Delhi Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Krishna 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Krishna 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 $750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $480 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Yamini
