Surgery fund for Ravi: spinal decompression surgery in Nashik

Ravi was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Nashik Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my son has been in and out of Nashik Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression 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, Ravi 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 7 weeks. During that time Ravi 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
