Surgery fund for Regina: knee replacement surgery in Tlaquepaque

Regina was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Tlaquepaque University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,950 short. my mother has been in and out of Tlaquepaque University Hospital since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Regina struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Regina won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $810 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $125 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - José
