Surgery fund for Sushma: cataract surgery in Kathmandu
A scheduled cataract surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $650 of the cost.
🇳🇵 Nepal382 views
Sushma was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Kathmandu Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short.
my sister has been in and out of Kathmandu Community Hospital since August. 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 $870 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sushma 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 10 weeks. During that time Sushma 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 $650 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $380
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
Glad we found this place.

How is Sushma doing now?
Wishing you peace, Sita. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Get well soon. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Hyderabad.
Rooting for you, Sita. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Worcester.
Thanks for sharing this, Sita. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Sita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
