Help Miguel pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Ciudad de México University Hospital
Miguel needs palate reconstruction surgery at Ciudad de México University Hospital and the family is $950 short of the hospital's estimate.

Miguel was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Ciudad de México University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short.
my brother has been in and out of Ciudad de México University Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Miguel struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Miguel won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $950 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $590
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

rooting for you, Santiago. Get well soon. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Praying for you, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Los Angeles.
Stay strong, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
