Surgery fund for Allison: gallbladder removal in Manchester
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Allison was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Allison was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Manchester Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,300 short.
my mother has been in and out of Manchester Community Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Allison 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Allison 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 $4,300 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $450
• Physiotherapy sessions: $530
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
