Surgery fund for Aarti: a craniotomy in Noida
A scheduled a craniotomy in March is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India2,726 views
Aarti was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in December. The surgeon at Noida General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Noida General Hospital since December. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Aarti struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Aarti won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $290
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Riddhi. Shared it with a few friends.
Sending good thoughts, Riddhi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning
Take care. Get well soon. Thinking of Noida.
Stay strong, Riddhi. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. Love from Gazipur
Best of luck, Riddhi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Contagem this morning. Greetings from Contagem.
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kasarani!
