Help Diego pay for cataract surgery at La Plata Orthopedic Institute

Diego was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at La Plata Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,500 short. my son has been in and out of La Plata Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Diego struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 5 weeks. During that time Diego won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $590 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $675 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
