Wendy was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Fresno Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Fresno Orthopedic Institute 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 $10,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Wendy 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Wendy 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 $6,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $590
• Post-operative medication: $270
• Physiotherapy sessions: $550
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
Glad we found this place.

Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Love from Quezon City
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Avery. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
You're not alone, Avery. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Dallas.
