Lilian's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled cataract surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

Lilian was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Eldoret University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my sister has been in and out of Eldoret University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lilian struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Lilian won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $210
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace, Samuel. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Surabaya this morning. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Samuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending love. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours
