Susana was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Susana struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Susana won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $580 • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Esteban
