Sathi was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sathi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Sathi won't be able to walk without help, 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 $900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $395 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
