Help Nicolás pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Guadalupe Orthopedic Institute

Nicolás was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Guadalupe Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,500 short. my son has been in and out of Guadalupe Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nicolás struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 7 weeks. During that time Nicolás won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jimena
