Uma was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Indore Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short.
my mother has been in and out of Indore Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Uma struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Uma won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $260
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Ganesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Kolkata.
So sorry you're going through this, Ganesh. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Rooting for you, Ganesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Indore.
Get well soon. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Blessings!
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from London.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
