Surgery fund for Naveen: a partial thyroidectomy in Nagpur

Naveen was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Nagpur Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my son has been in and out of Nagpur Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Naveen 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 12 weeks. During that time Naveen 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Post-operative medication: $5 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
