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

Nalin was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Jaffna Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $470, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $350 short. my son has been in and out of Jaffna Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $470 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nalin struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Nalin 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 $350 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $245 Thanks for reading all this. - Hasini
