Help me pay for cataract surgery at Bornova Community Hospital

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
