Claudia's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Claudia was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Claudia was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Irapuato Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,850 short.
my mother has been in and out of Irapuato Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Claudia 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 10 weeks. During that time Claudia won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $690
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $270
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bhaktapur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Bhaktapur
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
Rooting for you, Ximena. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Quezon City

Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
