Surgery fund for Rajiv: cataract surgery in Gaya

Rajiv was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Gaya University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short. my brother has been in and out of Gaya University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rajiv 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Rajiv won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 Glad we found this place. - Komal
