Surgery fund for Natalia: cataract surgery in Puebla
Natalia needs cataract surgery at Puebla Community Hospital and the family is $2,200 short of the hospital's estimate.

Natalia was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Puebla Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,200 short.
my mother has been in and out of Puebla Community Hospital since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Natalia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Natalia won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $930
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $680
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170
• Post-operative medication: $115
• Physiotherapy sessions: $210
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
