Sachin's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Sachin needs ACL reconstruction at Kota Orthopedic Institute and the family is $800 short of the hospital's estimate.

Sachin was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Kota Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short.
my son has been in and out of Kota Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sachin 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sachin won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $800 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $310
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90

Wishing you peace, Sneha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you, Sneha. Hope you get there. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Good luck, Sneha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Grenoble.
Wishing Sachin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Cebu City.
