Surgery fund for Gonzalo: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Ciudad de México
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $2,400 of the cost.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico2,004 views
Gonzalo was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Ciudad de México University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,400 short.
my husband has been in and out of Ciudad de México University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Gonzalo struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Gonzalo won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $810
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $175
• Post-operative medication: $90
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Araceli. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Araceli. Wishing Gonzalo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Araceli. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Kikuyu donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Araceli. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from London.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Araceli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Shubra.
sending good thoughts, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together
Rooting for you, Araceli. Hope the doctors have good news
So sorry you're going through this, Araceli. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Sapporo.
Praying for you, Araceli. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Sherbrooke
