Rajiv was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Warangal University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my brother has been in and out of Warangal University Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rajiv struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rajiv won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Sandton.

    • Take care. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
