Imran's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Imran was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Mumbai General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $870, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Mumbai General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $870 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $180 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Imran

    Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Amsterdam but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
