Updates from Leonardo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($864 in total) I made the first payment toward pre-operative tests and imaging. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope you get there. We're a small family in Cairo but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Scranton!
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leonardo!
Sure. The biggest one is pre-operative tests and imaging, $660. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you the best, Leonardo. I hope things turn around soon.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
