Casablanca
Nour was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in November. The surgeon at Casablanca Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $800 short. my mother has been in and out of Casablanca Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nour struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 7 weeks. During that time Nour won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $800 goes: โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $65 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $70 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $50 If you're reading this, thank you.
