ACL reconstruction for Graciela: covering what insurance won't

Graciela was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in May. The surgeon at Ciudad de México Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,700 short. my sister has been in and out of Ciudad de México Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Graciela 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Graciela 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 $1,700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $610 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $785 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
