Faith's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Faith needs cataract surgery at Atlanta General Hospital and the family is $6,600 short of the hospital's estimate.

Faith was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Atlanta General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,600 short.
my sister has been in and out of Atlanta General Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Faith struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Faith won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530
• Post-operative medication: $155
• Physiotherapy sessions: $440
• Travel and lodging for the family: $275
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
