Shrijana was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Lalitpur Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short. my wife has been in and out of Lalitpur Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shrijana struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Shrijana won't be able to drive, 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $270 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Toronto.
