Help Salvador pay for gallbladder removal at Coyoacán General Hospital

Salvador was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Coyoacán General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short. my husband has been in and out of Coyoacán General Hospital since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Salvador struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Salvador won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Post-operative medication: $100 Glad we found this place. - Carmen
