Yogesh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Jodhpur Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,200 short. my brother has been in and out of Jodhpur Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections 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, Yogesh struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Yogesh won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $480 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Every share and every dollar helps.
