Surgery fund for Geetha: a partial thyroidectomy in Bengaluru

Geetha was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Bengaluru Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bengaluru Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Geetha struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Geetha won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 With deep gratitude, Ananya
