Help Miguel pay for hip replacement surgery at Guadalajara General Hospital
Miguel needs hip replacement surgery at Guadalajara General Hospital and the family is $1,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Miguel was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Guadalajara General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,850 short.
my son has been in and out of Guadalajara General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Miguel struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Miguel won't be able to drive, 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 $1,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $820
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $95
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $835
Thanks for being kind about this.
