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

Gregory was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in June. The surgeon at San Diego Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,600 short. my father has been in and out of San Diego Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections 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, Gregory struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Gregory won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $380 Every share and every dollar helps. - Brandon
