Rakib was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Mumbai University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my father has been in and out of Mumbai University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rakib 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Rakib 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: โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $110 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $400 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $25 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $465 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Salma
