Murugan was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at Noida Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Noida Community Hospital since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Murugan struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Murugan won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $480 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Vishnu
