Laredo
Craig was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Laredo Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,150 short. my father has been in and out of Laredo Community Hospital since January. 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 $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Craig struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Craig won't be able to walk without help, 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 $4,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,350 • Post-operative medication: $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $550 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
