Beth's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Beth needs cataract surgery at London Regional Medical Center and the family is $6,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

Beth was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at London Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,050 short.
my wife has been in and out of London Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Beth 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Beth 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 $6,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Physiotherapy sessions: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.
