Surgery fund for Sangita: palate reconstruction surgery in Lalitpur

Sangita was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sangita struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sangita won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 Every share and every dollar helps. - Raju
