Rohini

Omkar was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Rohini Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $500 short. my brother has been in and out of Rohini Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Omkar struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Omkar won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mrunal
