Septoplasty for Kalyani: covering what insurance won't

A scheduled septoplasty in August is out of reach without help covering $1,200 of the cost.

Kalyani was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Mumbai General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short. my mother has been in and out of Mumbai General Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kalyani struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Kalyani won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $620 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kannan
