Sudhakar's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sudhakar was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Pune Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $400 short. my son has been in and out of Pune Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 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 8 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 $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $20 Thanks for reading all this. - Lakshmi
