Beata was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Birmingham Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Birmingham Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Beata struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 4 weeks. During that time Beata won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $5,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,850 • Physiotherapy sessions: $400 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
