Surgery fund for Emiliano: spinal decompression surgery in Envigado
Emiliano needs spinal decompression surgery at Envigado General Hospital and the family is $1,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Emiliano was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in October. The surgeon at Envigado General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,850 short.
my father has been in and out of Envigado General Hospital since October. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Emiliano 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Emiliano 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 $1,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $980
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $390
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Physiotherapy sessions: $140
• Travel and lodging for the family: $105

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Kyiv but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Envigado!
Thank you. If you're in Envigado I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you, Leonardo. Wishing Emiliano a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Rooting for you, Leonardo. Shared it with a few friends.
