Antonio was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in June. The surgeon at San Diego Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $8,050 short. my son has been in and out of San Diego Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Antonio struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Antonio 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 $8,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,400 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $790 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Adrián
