Surgery fund for Aaron: cataract surgery in London
Aaron needs cataract surgery at London Community Hospital and the family is $5,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Aaron was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,850 short.
my son has been in and out of London Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Aaron struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Aaron won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,950
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $280
• Travel and lodging for the family: $390
Thanks for reading all this.

hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Greetings from Eugene
Sending strength, Jordan. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Sandton this morning.
Sending love. Wishing Aaron a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of London.
Take care, Jordan. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of London.
