Surgery fund for Sofía: hip replacement surgery in Alcalá de Henares
Sofía needs hip replacement surgery at Alcalá de Henares Regional Medical Center and the family is $3,150 short of the hospital's estimate.

Sofía was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sofía struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Sofía won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $520
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Rodrigo. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Best of luck. Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
You're not alone, Rodrigo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Fort Worth this morning. Greetings from Fort Worth.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares
