Help me pay for cataract surgery at Bornova Community Hospital

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Serkan was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Bornova
In July I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Bornova Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $870, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Bornova Community Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $870 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $320 • Post-operative medication: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Serkan
