Surgery fund for Natnael: cataract surgery in Adama

Natnael was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Adama Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my father has been in and out of Adama Community Hospital since June. 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 $730 is more than we can find. While we wait, Natnael 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Natnael won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $255 I hope life is good to you. - Kidus
