Ramesh's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Ramesh was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in November. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,400 short. my brother has been in and out of London Community Hospital since November. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ramesh struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 4 weeks. During that time Ramesh won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $2,400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350 • Post-operative medication: $130 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,750 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
