Surgery fund for Yashodha: emergency hernia repair in Colombo

Yashodha was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Colombo Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short. my mother has been in and out of Colombo Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yashodha struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Yashodha 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $590 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
