Manisha's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In April I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Lalitpur University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $920, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Lalitpur University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $920 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 If you're reading this, thank you. - Manisha
