Surgery fund for Mahesh: ACL reconstruction in Chandler
A scheduled ACL reconstruction in November is out of reach without help covering $8,250 of the cost.

Mahesh was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Chandler University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $8,250 short.
my father has been in and out of Chandler University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mahesh 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Mahesh won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $8,250 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,450
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
• Post-operative medication: $250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $400
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Vihaan. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Asaba donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Vihaan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Take care, Vihaan. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 19 people at work. Blessings!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
