Mariana was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at León Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my sister has been in and out of León Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mariana struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Mariana won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Post-operative medication: $115 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Diego
