Surgery fund for Jagadish: cataract surgery in Thane

In March I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Thane University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Thane University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,900 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Thank you so much.
