Surgery fund for Mahesh: cataract surgery in Agra

Mahesh was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Agra Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Agra Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract 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, Mahesh struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Mahesh 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 $850 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
