Help for retinal detachment surgery

Donation protected
My mother had to have an emergency retinal detachment surgery after she woke up one day with sight loss. I took her to a hospital that was an hour drive away to have the surgery done because it was the only place near us that could preform the surgery. The eye doctor said if she didn’t get it done soon she would permently lose vision in her eye. Unfortunately it is an expensive surgery and we don’t have any insurance to cover any of the costs. Part of the recovery for this surgery is that my mother cannot stand up Straight, her chin must be touching her chest 90% of the time for one week or the surgery will fail. During this week she will not be able to work and we will be behind on our bills on top of the debt we are now in because of the surgery, I am currently experiencing a difficult  pregnancy and have been unable to work to help my mother with bills. My husband and I are both college students and though he does work and go to school full time he still doesn’t make enough to cover everything.  Any donations will help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
