Antonio's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Antonio was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Córdoba University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,350, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,000 short. my father has been in and out of Córdoba University Hospital since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Antonio struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 8 weeks. During that time Antonio won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,000 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $880 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,075 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Marisol
