Priyanka's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After an aortic valve defect, Priyanka was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Priyanka was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Priyanka 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Priyanka 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 $800 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $395
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ludhiana
