Surgery fund for Komal: spinal decompression surgery in Nashik

Komal was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Nashik University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nashik University Hospital since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Komal struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Komal won't be able to drive, 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 $950 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $520 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sameer
