Varsha's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Varsha was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Mysuru General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short. my sister has been in and out of Mysuru General Hospital since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Varsha 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Varsha won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $220 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Post-operative medication: $40 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kavitha
