After endometriosis requiring surgery, Pedro was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Pedro was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Guadalajara Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,500 short.
my son has been in and out of Guadalajara Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,550 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Pedro struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Pedro won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $2,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $950
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200
• Post-operative medication: $105
• Physiotherapy sessions: $230
• Travel and lodging for the family: $115
With deep gratitude,

Praying for you. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Fernanda. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Faisalabad.
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
hang in there, Fernanda. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope it all works out, Fernanda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kraków.
