Tejal was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Kanpur General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. 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 mother has been in and out of Kanpur General Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction 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, Tejal struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Tejal won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Thanks for reading all this. - Chirag
