Sajib was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Mumbai Community Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sajib struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sajib won't be able to walk without help, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Glad we found this place.
