Surgery fund for Beatriz: cataract surgery in Tehuacán
After a cleft palate needing repair, Beatriz was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Beatriz was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Tehuacán Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,600, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Tehuacán Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Beatriz 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 7 weeks. During that time Beatriz 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 $2,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $730
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
• Travel and lodging for the family: $145
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Daniela. Hope you get there. Greetings from Nairobi.
Sending good thoughts, Daniela. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Juiz de Fora this morning.
