Nilesh's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Nilesh was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Thrissur Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short. my father has been in and out of Thrissur Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nilesh struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Nilesh won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $180 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Glad we found this place.
