Madina
Daniel was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Madina Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my son has been in and out of Madina Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Daniel struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Daniel won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Post-operative medication: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
