Palate reconstruction surgery for Deepa: covering what insurance won't

Deepa was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in December. The surgeon at Nashik Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nashik Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Deepa 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Deepa won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $485 Thank you for reading my story.
