Luna was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Hialeah Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,950 short. my mother has been in and out of Hialeah Community Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luna struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 8 weeks. During that time Luna won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $470 Thank you for reading my story. - Ethan
