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

David was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,250 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, David struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 David 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 $4,250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 • Post-operative medication: $380 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
