Surgery fund for Sneha: palate reconstruction surgery in New Delhi

In October I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at New Delhi University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $310, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $250 short. Doctors at New Delhi University Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $310 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Post-operative medication: $80 I hope life is good to you.
