Rashmi's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After gallstones with repeated infections, Rashmi was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Rashmi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Mumbai Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $650 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mumbai Community Hospital since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rashmi struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Rashmi 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 $650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.
