Help Adriana pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Saint Catherine Hospital

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Adriana was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Adriana was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adriana struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Adriana won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,150 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $190 Glad we found this place.

Updates from José

  1. Update from Bilbao: I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
