Help Xue pay for cataract surgery at Hobart General Hospital
After a cleft palate needing repair, Xue was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Xue was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Hobart General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Hobart General Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Xue 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Xue won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $670
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,550
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Feng. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogotá.
hang in there. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
