Help Harper pay for cataract surgery at Rochester University Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Harper was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Harper was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Rochester University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,800, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,850 short.
my wife has been in and out of Rochester University Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Harper struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Harper won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,180
