Help Bruno pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Barcelona University Hospital

Bruno was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in May. The surgeon at Barcelona University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,900 short. my husband has been in and out of Barcelona University Hospital since May. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bruno struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Bruno won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 • Travel and lodging for the family: $355 With deep gratitude, Yolanda
