Fatuma was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fatuma struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 7 weeks. During that time Fatuma won't be able to drive, 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 $450 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
