Valve repair surgery for Sultana: covering what insurance won't

Sultana was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Thane University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short. my mother has been in and out of Thane University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sultana 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 5 weeks. During that time Sultana 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: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $430 • Post-operative medication: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.
