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

Sharmila was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in December. The surgeon at Kathmandu Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $450 short. my wife has been in and out of Kathmandu Community Hospital since December. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sharmila struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Sharmila won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $35 With deep gratitude, Sanjay
