In December I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $6,500 short. Doctors at Los Angeles Community Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 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 $6,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,350 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Post-operative medication: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $870 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Samantha
