Help me pay for cataract surgery at Saint Francis Hospital
After a cleft palate needing repair, Pierre was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,850 short.
Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $5,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440
• Post-operative medication: $300
• Physiotherapy sessions: $660
• Travel and lodging for the family: $350
I hope life is good to you.
