After severe cataracts in both eyes, Priscila was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Priscila was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,950, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Priscila struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Priscila won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. 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 $2,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $960 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $660 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Post-operative medication: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
