Help Elena pay for emergency hernia repair at Veracruz Regional Medical Center

Elena was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Veracruz Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my mother has been in and out of Veracruz Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Elena 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 $1,350 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $175 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $545 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
