Surgery fund for Mohammed: cataract surgery in Mansoura

Mohammed was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since May. 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 $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mohammed 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. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Mohammed 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 $500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 Glad we found this place. - Layla
