Rajan was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rajan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Rajan 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 $1,150 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $575 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vrushali
