Surgery fund for Keerthana: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Pune

Keerthana was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in February. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since February. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Keerthana 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Keerthana 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 $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $145 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Jagadish
