Pradeep's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Pradeep needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Nagpur Regional Medical Center and the family is $950 short of the hospital's estimate.

Pradeep was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Nagpur Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short.
my father has been in and out of Nagpur Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Pradeep struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 5 weeks. During that time Pradeep won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $350
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Payal
Good news. Because of your gifts ($235 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital stay. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
