Surgery fund for Anita: knee replacement surgery in Aurangabad

Anita was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anita struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Anita won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Post-operative medication: $65 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sandeep
