Lidia was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,350 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since September. 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 $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lidia struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Lidia won't be able to drive, 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 $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $70 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $720 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  2. Quick update: $185 raised so far (14%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($155). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward physiotherapy sessions. - Iryna
