Rani was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rani 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Rani won't be able to drive, 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
