After a hernia that has become strangulated, Yolanda was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Yolanda was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Ciudad de México Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,600, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,800 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Ciudad de México Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yolanda 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Yolanda won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,800 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $720
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Physiotherapy sessions: $150
• Travel and lodging for the family: $140
With deep gratitude,
Antonio

Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Cape Town donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Khon Kaen
Rooting for you, Antonio. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Manila.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
