Komal was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at Dwarka Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Dwarka Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Komal struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Komal won't be able to walk without help, 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vihaan
