Pablo's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at San Cristóbal de las Casas Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $600, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at San Cristóbal de las Casas Orthopedic Institute told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Post-operative medication: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 If you're reading this, thank you. - Pablo
