Surgery fund for Saraswathi: valve repair surgery in Lucknow

After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Saraswathi was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Lucknow General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $360, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $250 short. Doctors at Lucknow General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $360 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 Glad we found this place.

      Keep going, Saraswathi. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Kathmandu but we're thinking of you.
