Surgery fund for Mangesh: a craniotomy in Rohini

Mangesh was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Rohini General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Rohini General Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mangesh struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Mangesh won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yogita
