Surgery fund for Mythili: ACL reconstruction in Thane

Mythili was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mythili struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Mythili 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $180 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Glad we found this place.
