Surgery fund for Nisha: hip replacement surgery in San Diego
After a benign brain tumor, Nisha was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Nisha was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at San Diego General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $8,400 short.
my wife has been in and out of San Diego General Hospital since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nisha struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 7 weeks. During that time Nisha won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $8,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,050
• Post-operative medication: $250
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Ayaan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mumbai.
Good luck, Ayaan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page
