Sapna was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Thane Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $290, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $200 short. my mother has been in and out of Thane Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $290 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sapna struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sapna won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Thank you for reading my story.
