Vignesh's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a benign brain tumor, Vignesh was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Vignesh was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Nagpur Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my father has been in and out of Nagpur Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vignesh struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 5 weeks. During that time Vignesh won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $280
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Latha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vignesh.
Surgeon and anesthesia fees is $440 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Best of luck, Latha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Nagpur.
Take care, Latha. Get well soon. Blessings.
Best of luck, Latha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Valencia.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier!
