Terry was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Mesa University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,450 short. my son has been in and out of Mesa University Hospital since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Terry struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Terry 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 $1,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $410 • Post-operative medication: $210 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
