Santhosh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Varanasi Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my son has been in and out of Varanasi Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Santhosh struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Santhosh won't be able to drive, 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: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $440 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Every share and every dollar helps. - Suresh
