Renata was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in November. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,200 short. my wife has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Renata struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Renata 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 $4,200 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,550 • Post-operative medication: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $135 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950 • Physiotherapy sessions: $455 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mateo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($980 in total) the plan for post-operative medication is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($732). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
