Jerome's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Manila Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Manila Orthopedic Institute told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 I hope life is good to you.
