Surgery fund for José: palate reconstruction surgery in Girona

José was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Girona University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,900 short. my father has been in and out of Girona University Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, José 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time José won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $3,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $480 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,000 • Post-operative medication: $190 Thank you so much. - Paloma
