Ariana was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Gold Coast Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,750 short. my wife has been in and out of Gold Coast Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ariana struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Ariana won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,950 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
