Surgery fund for Vidya: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Coimbatore

In April I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Coimbatore University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,100 short. Doctors at Coimbatore University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $1,100 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $230 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Vidya
