Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Liliana was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at Tuxtla Gutiérrez Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,150 short. my mother has been in and out of Tuxtla Gutiérrez Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Liliana struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Liliana won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $2,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $880 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $710 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $190 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $180 • Travel and lodging for the family: $135 Every share and every dollar helps. - María
