Surgery fund for Luis: palate reconstruction surgery in Cali

Luis was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Cali General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my brother has been in and out of Cali General Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luis struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Luis won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $800 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $185 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
