Surgery fund for Pranav: cataract surgery in Nashik
A scheduled cataract surgery in January is out of reach without help covering $1,300 of the cost.

Pranav was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in October. The surgeon at Nashik Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short.
my son has been in and out of Nashik Regional Medical Center since October. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Pranav struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Pranav won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $510
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85
I hope life is good to you.

hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nashik.
Good luck, Arjun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Oakland
Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nashik.
wishing you the best, Arjun. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bogor
Thanks for sharing this, Arjun. Wishing Pranav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nashik.
