In March I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Paris General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,950 short. Doctors at Paris General Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,900 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $180 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Pauline
