Nandini's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Nandini was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Nandini was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Nagpur University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $200 short.
my mother has been in and out of Nagpur University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nandini struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time Nandini won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $200 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Vidya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Nagpur
Best of luck, Vidya. Wishing Nandini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page
So sorry you're going through this, Vidya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Stuttgart
Thinking of you, Vidya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
