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

Pilar was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at San Cristóbal de las Casas Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,950, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,050 short. my mother has been in and out of San Cristóbal de las Casas Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pilar struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Pilar won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $2,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 Thanks for reading all this. - Ana
