Sandeep's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sandeep was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in March. The surgeon at Mumbai Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my brother has been in and out of Mumbai Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sandeep struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Sandeep won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Thank you for reading my story.
