Surgery fund for Eduardo: a craniotomy in Vigo

Eduardo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,650 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eduardo struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Eduardo won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 • Post-operative medication: $150 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $770 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hugo
