Rocío was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Medellín Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Medellín Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rocío 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Rocío 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 $1,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Regina
