Help Paloma pay for spinal decompression surgery at Móstoles Orthopedic Institute

Paloma needs spinal decompression surgery at Móstoles Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,300 short of the hospital's estimate.

Móstoles
Paloma was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at Móstoles Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Móstoles Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paloma struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Paloma won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,300 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $890 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Post-operative medication: $170 If you're reading this, thank you.
