Help Laura pay for cataract surgery at Saint Francis Hospital

Laura was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Laura struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Laura won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $645 Glad we found this place. - Alejandra
