Silvia was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Córdoba University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Córdoba University Hospital since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Silvia struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Silvia won't be able to drive, 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 $5,300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,280 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ricardo

    Good luck, Ricardo. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
