Help Ignacio pay for ACL reconstruction at Guadalajara University Hospital

Ignacio was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in February. The surgeon at Guadalajara University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short.
my father has been in and out of Guadalajara University Hospital since February. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ignacio 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 3 weeks. During that time Ignacio won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $635

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ignacio.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
You're not alone, Mariana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kandy.
sending love, Mariana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Guadalajara
Stay strong, Mariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Thinking of you, Mariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
