Surgery fund for Krishnan: knee replacement surgery in New Delhi

A scheduled knee replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $850 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $530 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Post-operative medication: $50 Thank you so much. - Krishnan
