Help me pay for cataract surgery at Gdynia Regional Medical Center
A scheduled cataract surgery in July is out of reach without help covering $2,700 of the cost.
🇵🇱 Gdynia, Pomerania, Poland1,225 views
In March I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Gdynia Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,500, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $2,700 short.
Doctors at Gdynia Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $2,700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $960
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280
• Post-operative medication: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $175
• Travel and lodging for the family: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gdynia.
Thank you. If you're in Gdynia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Keep going, Zofia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
