Córdoba
Consuelo was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Córdoba Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Córdoba Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Consuelo struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Consuelo won't be able to drive, 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 $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $860 • Post-operative medication: $80 With deep gratitude, Pedro
