Sanjay's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sanjay was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Coimbatore Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Coimbatore Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sanjay 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sanjay won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kavita
