Mariana was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Tehuacán University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Tehuacán University Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mariana struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Mariana 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 $1,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $910 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $620 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
