Vivaan's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Bengaluru Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $270, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $200 short. Doctors at Bengaluru Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $270 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
