Rina was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Madurai Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Madurai Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rina struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Rina 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 $500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 With deep gratitude, Saif

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rina.

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. post-operative medication comes first ($30) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Keep going, Saif. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
