Aurora
Malak was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in February. The surgeon at Aurora University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,600 short. my mother has been in and out of Aurora University Hospital since February. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Malak struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Malak won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $6,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $770 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $180 I hope life is good to you. - Kamal

      take care. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

        So sorry you're going through this, Kamal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
