Sharmin was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in September. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since September. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sharmin struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Sharmin won't be able to drive, 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 $750 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ishrat
