Surgery fund for Jagath: spinal decompression surgery in Kandy

Jagath was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Kandy Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my father has been in and out of Kandy Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jagath struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Jagath won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $800 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $510 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
