Vaishali's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In December I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Agra University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Agra University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $900 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $290 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Thanks for being kind about this. - Vaishali
