Santiago was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Denver General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,600 short. my son has been in and out of Denver General Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Santiago struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Santiago won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $2,600 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $560 Thank you so much.
