Help Shirin pay for cataract surgery at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute
After a herniated spinal disc, Shirin was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Shirin was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in January. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short.
my wife has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Shirin struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Shirin won't be able to drive, 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 $500 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Belfast.
