Rajesh's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled gallbladder removal in December is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

Rajesh was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my husband has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rajesh struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 6 weeks. During that time Rajesh won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $345
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
