Óscar was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in February. The surgeon at Xalapa University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Xalapa University Hospital since February. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Óscar struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Óscar won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $760 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Physiotherapy sessions: $175 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
