Help Lorenzo pay for emergency hernia repair at Bogotá Regional Medical Center

Lorenzo was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Bogotá Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,450 short. my husband has been in and out of Bogotá Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lorenzo struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Lorenzo won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $480 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $820 • Post-operative medication: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
