Surgery fund for Amparo: cataract surgery in Barcelona

Amparo was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Barcelona General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Barcelona General Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Amparo struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 6 weeks. During that time Amparo won't be able to walk without help, 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 $3,100 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Post-operative medication: $300 If you can't give, please share this page.
