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

Naliaka was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $400 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. 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 $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Naliaka struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 3 weeks. During that time Naliaka won't be able to walk without help, 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 $400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $255 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
