Sneha's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a large ovarian cyst, Sneha was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sneha was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,650 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sneha struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Sneha won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $7,650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,500
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $590
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Physiotherapy sessions: $920
• Travel and lodging for the family: $500
With deep gratitude,
Sachin

Stay strong, Sachin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Francisco
keep going, Sachin. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in San Antonio but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending love, Sachin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Sending good thoughts, Sachin. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
