Surgery fund for Pranav: emergency hernia repair in Mumbai

Pranav was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Mumbai Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Mumbai Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pranav struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Pranav won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Anjali
