Madhu's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Madhu was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Madhu was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in March. The surgeon at Dwarka University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $550 short. my mother has been in and out of Dwarka University Hospital since March. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $730 is more than we can find. While we wait, Madhu struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Madhu won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $290 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Payal
