Surgery fund for Ganga: palate reconstruction surgery in Pokhara
After a large ovarian cyst, Ganga was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇳🇵 Pokhara, Gandaki, Nepal2,418 views
Ganga was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Pokhara Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short.
my wife has been in and out of Pokhara Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ganga 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ganga 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 $900 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $280
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Dipesh. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pokhara.
hang in there, Dipesh. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Sending strength, Dipesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Sacramento.
