Surgery fund for Héctor: a craniotomy in Móstoles

In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $115 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $425 Every share and every dollar helps. - Héctor
