Help Laiba pay for gallbladder removal at Saint Francis Hospital

Laiba was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Laiba struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Laiba won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $600 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $195 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
