Surgery fund for Ankit: valve repair surgery in Nagpur

Ankit was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in October. The surgeon at Nagpur Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Nagpur Community Hospital since October. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ankit struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Ankit won't be able to walk without help, 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 $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Manoj
