Radha's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Radha needs gallbladder removal at Saint Luke Hospital and the family is $650 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India662 views
Radha was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $650 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Radha struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Radha won't be able to drive, 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 $650 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

rooting for you, Lata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
