Sachin's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sachin was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Nagpur University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $600 short. my brother has been in and out of Nagpur University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sachin 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 6 weeks. During that time Sachin won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 If you're reading this, thank you.
