Surgery fund for Rafael: laparoscopic cyst removal in Ciudad de México

Rafael was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Ciudad de México Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,650 short. my son has been in and out of Ciudad de México Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rafael struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Rafael won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $170 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Pablo
