Sudhakar's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sudhakar was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Prayagraj University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short. my brother has been in and out of Prayagraj University Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sudhakar struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Sudhakar 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mohan
