Sapna was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Nagpur General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Nagpur General Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sapna struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Sapna won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ravi
