Mauricio was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,950 short.
my son has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mauricio struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Mauricio won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Physiotherapy sessions: $590
• Travel and lodging for the family: $115

Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Best of luck, Santiago. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Zaria.
