Buenos Aires
Leonardo was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Buenos Aires General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Buenos Aires General Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Leonardo 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 7 weeks. During that time Leonardo 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $190 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mercedes
