After a herniated spinal disc, Sowmya was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sowmya was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Nagpur Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my wife has been in and out of Nagpur Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sowmya 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sowmya 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 $600 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 With deep gratitude, Lokesh
