Surgery fund for Sergio: valve repair surgery in Tlaquepaque
Sergio needs valve repair surgery at Tlaquepaque University Hospital and the family is $2,200 short of the hospital's estimate.

In November I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Tlaquepaque University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,200 short.
Doctors at Tlaquepaque University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,650 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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: $1,200
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Post-operative medication: $90
• Physiotherapy sessions: $160
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Sergio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kasarani.
Rooting for you, Sergio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope January is when things finally get easier.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
wishing you peace, Sergio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
