Surgery fund for Ayesha: emergency hernia repair in New Delhi

Ayesha was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at New Delhi Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $350 short. my daughter has been in and out of New Delhi Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ayesha struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Ayesha won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $350 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sajib
