After an aortic valve defect, Mariana was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Córdoba
Mariana was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in September. The surgeon at Córdoba Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Córdoba Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mariana 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Mariana won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,700 goes: • Post-operative medication: $75 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $350 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 • Travel and lodging for the family: $125 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tomás
