Surgery fund for Lamia: gallbladder removal in Hubballi

Lamia was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Hubballi Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Hubballi Orthopedic Institute 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 $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lamia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 10 weeks. During that time Lamia won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $280 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Post-operative medication: $45 Thank you for reading my story. - Salma
