6th of October City
Leila was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at 6th of October City Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of 6th of October City Community Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Leila struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 3 weeks. During that time Leila won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $900 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 โ€ข Hospital stay (2 nights): $310 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $55 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $90 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Abdullah

    • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
