Citlali was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in January. The surgeon at Bogotá Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bogotá Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Citlali struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Citlali won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $810 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Every share and every dollar helps. - Víctor
