Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Adrián: covering what insurance won't
Adrián needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at El Paso Community Hospital and the family is $6,750 short of the hospital's estimate.

Adrián was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at El Paso Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,750 short.
my son has been in and out of El Paso Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Adrián 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Adrián 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 $6,750 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,950
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850
• Travel and lodging for the family: $380
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Manuel
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($1,506). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward pre-operative tests and imaging.

Sending strength. Get well soon. Take care
Rooting for you, Manuel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
take care. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
