Surgery fund for Sanjay: knee replacement surgery in Agra

Sanjay was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in January. The surgeon at Agra Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my brother has been in and out of Agra Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement 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, Sanjay 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 3 weeks. During that time Sanjay 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Every share and every dollar helps. - Pradeep
