Yash was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my son has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yash 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 5 weeks. During that time Yash 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 $500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $315 Every share and every dollar helps.
