Carmen was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Guadalajara Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Guadalajara Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carmen struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Carmen won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,255 Thanks for being kind about this.
