Wilfredo's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Wilfredo was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at San Fernando Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short. my father has been in and out of San Fernando Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wilfredo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Wilfredo won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Princess
