Surgery fund for Shan: cataract surgery in Los Angeles

Shan was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,250 short. my daughter has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shan struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Shan won't be able to walk without help, 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 $7,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $710 • Post-operative medication: $410 • Physiotherapy sessions: $680 • Travel and lodging for the family: $400 If you're reading this, thank you.
