After an aortic valve defect, Lavanya was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lavanya was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lavanya 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 6 weeks. During that time Lavanya won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $25 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sudhakar
