Surgery fund for Paula: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Valencia

Paula was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in November. The surgeon at Valencia Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Valencia Community Hospital since November. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paula struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Paula won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270 • Travel and lodging for the family: $180 • Post-operative medication: $250 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Cristian
