Aaliyah was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Philadelphia Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Philadelphia Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Aaliyah struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Aaliyah 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 $4,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,010 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Paisley

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 66% funded and I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,015 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
