Madhu's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Madhu was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Madhu 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Madhu won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $600 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 If you're reading this, thank you. - Geeta
