Surgery fund for Maya: spinal decompression surgery in Biratnagar

After gallstones with repeated infections, Maya was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Biratnagar
Maya was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Biratnagar University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Biratnagar University Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maya 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 10 weeks. During that time Maya won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 Glad we found this place. - Durga

Updates from Durga

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($310 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital stay. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts.
