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

In August I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Pune Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Pune Community Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I hope life is good to you.
