Sunita's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In January I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Lalitpur General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $690, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Lalitpur General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $690 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $215 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
