Adrián's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $4,900 of the cost.

Adrián was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,900 short.
my father has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares University Hospital since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Adrián struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Adrián won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
• Post-operative medication: $115
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $195
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,750
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Víctor. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together.
hope things get better soon, Víctor. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Fort Worth
gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares!
Hope things get better soon, Víctor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
