Consuelo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Madrid Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Madrid Community Hospital since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Consuelo struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Consuelo won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $3,200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $550 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Post-operative medication: $175 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Soledad

        Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          Sending love, Soledad. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Glasgow

              I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Madrid.
