Help Helena pay for cataract surgery at Saint Catherine Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Helena was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Helena was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in May. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,550 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since May. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Helena 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 12 weeks. During that time Helena 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 $1,550 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $280
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Łukasz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Narayanganj but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength, Łukasz. Get well soon. Thinking of Wrocław.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Bacolod.
