Surgery fund for Paula: a partial thyroidectomy in Móstoles
After a benign brain tumor, Paula was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Paula was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at Móstoles University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,750 short.
my mother has been in and out of Móstoles University Hospital since December. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Paula 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Paula won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $5,750 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,900
• Post-operative medication: $145
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,145

Hope it all works out. Wishing Paula a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Gulu.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Los Angeles.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 33 people at work. Thinking of Móstoles
