Help Nicolás pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Catherine Hospital

Nicolás was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in December. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for March. 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 brother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since December. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nicolás 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Nicolás 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 $1,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $680 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $160 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Víctor
