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

Omkar was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Agra Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my husband has been in and out of Agra Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Omkar struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 6 weeks. During that time Omkar won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $600 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $30 I hope life is good to you.
