Ramón's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Ramón needs emergency hernia repair at Veracruz University Hospital and the family is $1,300 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Veracruz University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,300 short.
Doctors at Veracruz University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $1,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $900
• Physiotherapy sessions: $185
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
• Post-operative medication: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.
