Surgery fund for Venkatesh: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Udaipur

Venkatesh was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Udaipur Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $640, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my husband has been in and out of Udaipur Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $640 is more than we can find. While we wait, Venkatesh struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Venkatesh 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 $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
