Help Theresa pay for cataract surgery at Obuasi Regional Medical Center
Theresa needs cataract surgery at Obuasi Regional Medical Center and the family is $750 short of the hospital's estimate.

Theresa was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Obuasi Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Obuasi Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Theresa struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 4 weeks. During that time Theresa won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $310
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
With deep gratitude,
Samuel

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Theresa?
Thank you. If you're in Obuasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Obuasi.
