Help Ana pay for cataract surgery at Fresno Regional Medical Center

Ana was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Fresno Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Fresno Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ana 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ana won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $640 Thank you so much. - Araceli
