Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Üsküdar General Hospital

Üsküdar
In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Üsküdar General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Üsküdar General Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 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 $1,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 I hope life is good to you.

          take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Jaffna so I could bring a meal.

                Good luck, Gül. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in London this morning. God bless.
