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

Revital needs cataract surgery at Saint Anne Hospital and the family is $6,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Revital was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,850 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. 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 $13,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Revital struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Revital won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $6,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Post-operative medication: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $620 • Travel and lodging for the family: $380 Thanks for reading all this.
