Enrique's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After gallstones with repeated infections, Enrique was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Enrique was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Barcelona University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,800 short.
my father has been in and out of Barcelona University Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Enrique 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Enrique 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 $3,800 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,250
• Post-operative medication: $300
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700
• Travel and lodging for the family: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

praying for you, Daniela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Barcelona.
Hope it all works out, Daniela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. Thinking of Barcelona.
wishing Enrique a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Daniela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
So sorry you're going through this, Daniela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Nha Trang.

Hope things get better soon, Daniela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
