Help me pay for cataract surgery at Leeds Community Hospital

In November I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Leeds Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,300 short. Doctors at Leeds Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,500 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $5,300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $410 • Post-operative medication: $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,050 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,970 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
