Tharun's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Tharun was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my husband has been in and out of Hyderabad Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tharun struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Tharun won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $355 With deep gratitude, Latha
