Help Gustavo pay for gallbladder removal at Santa Fe Orthopedic Institute

Gustavo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Santa Fe Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,500 short. my father has been in and out of Santa Fe Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gustavo 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Gustavo 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: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $870 • Post-operative medication: $60 Glad we found this place. - Nicolás
