Help me pay for cataract surgery at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center

After severe cataracts in both eyes, Rabia was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a retail assistant, 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 retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 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 $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $445 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
