Sudhakar was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Pune General Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sudhakar struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Sudhakar 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $580 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Murugan
