Laparoscopic cyst removal for Caroline: covering what insurance won't
Caroline needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Manchester Regional Medical Center and the family is $7,600 short of the hospital's estimate.

Caroline was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Manchester Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,600 short.
my wife has been in and out of Manchester Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Caroline 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Caroline won't be able to walk without help, 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 $7,600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,000
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230
• Post-operative medication: $390
• Physiotherapy sessions: $350
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Robert. Wishing Caroline a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Jinja so I could bring a meal.
Keep going. Wishing Caroline a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless
You're not alone, Robert. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Keep going, Robert. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
