Chinmay was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Bhopal Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Bhopal Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Chinmay struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Chinmay won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
