Surgery fund for Tuhin: emergency hernia repair in Pune
After a large ovarian cyst, Tuhin was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Tuhin was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Pune Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my son has been in and out of Pune Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Tuhin struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Tuhin won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out. Wishing Tuhin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Essen so I could bring a meal
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Nairobi.
Rooting for you, Sabbir. Hope the doctors have good news. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Latina.
Good luck. Wishing Tuhin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier
Sending strength, Sabbir. Hope you get there
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Polokwane but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bhopal but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
keep going, Sabbir. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
