Help me pay for cataract surgery at Bacoor General Hospital

After a benign brain tumor, Michelle was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In January I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Bacoor General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,200 short. Doctors at Bacoor General Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 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. 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Bacoor

    • Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      • Wishing Michelle a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal. Love from Muzaffarpur.
