Help me pay for cataract surgery at București University Hospital

A scheduled cataract surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $2,400 of the cost.

In June I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at București University 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 $3,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,400 short. Doctors at București University Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,450 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $2,400 goes: • Post-operative medication: $115 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $700 • Physiotherapy sessions: $320 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,015 If you're reading this, thank you.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees.
