Aleena's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Islamabad Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $450 short. Doctors at Islamabad Orthopedic Institute told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $750 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250 • Post-operative medication: $75 Thanks for reading all this.
