Nirali needs a craniotomy at Mumbai Regional Medical Center and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Nirali was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in April. The surgeon at Mumbai Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short. my sister has been in and out of Mumbai Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nirali struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Nirali won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $210 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Mangesh

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

      • Nour Amal Saleh

        Take care, Mangesh. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Tangier.
