Vinod was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Mysuru University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my son has been in and out of Mysuru University Hospital since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vinod struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Vinod won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $500
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $395
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Thane
Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Warren so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mysuru
