Dewi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in February. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $530, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $400 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since February. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $530 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dewi 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Dewi won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $35 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ahmad
