Vihaan's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Vihaan was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Madurai General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Madurai General Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression 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, Vihaan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Vihaan won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Neha
