Pari's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in May is out of reach without help covering $1,150 of the cost.

In February I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Nagpur Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Nagpur Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,900 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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: $560 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 If you're reading this, thank you. - Pari

    Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Miami.

    • Caio AlmeidaQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pari

      • Pari S. AgarwalOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is surgeon and anesthesia fees, $560. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

                Thinking of you, Pari. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nagpur.
