Call for mutual aid!
Hi all- some of you know my mom has been sick for some time
now. She currently suffers from diabetes, and glaucoma due to it;
My mom's health has always been poor due to a brain injury she had as a result of a few minutes of brain death due to sepsis;
We have been to doctors and to the hospital, done several tests and misdiagnoses, prescribed different meds, few of which worked.
She was scheduled for surgery back in April, but because of preexisting health conditions and her poor mental health, the doctors kept delaying her surgery for additional lab tests- including scans for her thyroid and kidneys and seizures... changing her insulin often to see which worked better and etc.. I've lost a portion of my savings that I initially had set aside for her surgery.
Over time her eye became infected and swollen shut; She has been
in constant pain because of this. The doctors have been running
tests to get her into surgery but her health has not been stable
enough to undergo surgery. We had another checkup a couple of days
ago and today, and the doctors have told us her eye is inoperable
and she is now officially blind on one side. They have scheduled a
surgery for Friday next week to save her other eye. I am the sole
caretaker of my family, and between the added cost of her medical
expenses during the past months and the steadily increasing cost of
living I am not able to procure the entirety of the funds needed
for the surgery, so that I am short an estimate of 1,800$ for the
whole thing, including carfare as we do not have our own car, her
maintenance medicine, and care after surgery for a month.
The estimated cost of my moms surgery is 60k pesos (1,200 USD through paypal's conversion) which we desperately need by Friday. On top of this there are the transportation costs to and from the hospital, possible further tests & doctors consultations and her medication. We do not know the exact cost of these things yet, but I´m calculating for a bi-weekly consultation and test during the weeks after her surgery, which would come up at around 22k pesos ( 450 USD). For her medication I´m estimating an additional 10k pesos (200 USD), so the overall amount we need to raise is 92k pesos (1800 USD). Every single cent donated; every share truly, truly would mean everything to us and help us save my mothers sight.
It would mean the absolute world to me if anyone with any spare income or resources could spare me a share, even a dollar or retweet or a kind word helps. Thank you so so much
