Surgery fund for Vikas: hip replacement surgery in Saket
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Vikas was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Vikas was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saket Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short.
my father has been in and out of Saket Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vikas struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Vikas won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $600 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Priya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Keep going, Priya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vikas.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. physiotherapy sessions comes first ($50) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
good luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mwanza
you're not alone, Priya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Guadalajara but we're thinking of you. Take care.
