Francisco was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Monterrey University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,750 short. my husband has been in and out of Monterrey University Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Francisco struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Francisco won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,750 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $690 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $760 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

      Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

          Thank you. If you're in Monterrey I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

        Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            Take care, Lucía. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
