Vihaan was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Kota General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $290, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my brother has been in and out of Kota General Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $290 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vihaan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Vihaan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $200 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anita
