Carter was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Nottingham Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,900 short. my father has been in and out of Nottingham Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis 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, Carter struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Carter won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,900 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $250 • Post-operative medication: $155 • Physiotherapy sessions: $670 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,600 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $225 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Dennis

  1. Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($1,597). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital stay.
