Yash was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Siliguri General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my father has been in and out of Siliguri General Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yash 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Yash 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 $1,150 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $470
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $545
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
