Teresa was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Madrid General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,900 short. my sister has been in and out of Madrid General Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Teresa struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Teresa won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,900 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Post-operative medication: $160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

          Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Casablanca this morning. Thinking of Madrid.

              so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Nakuru so I could bring a meal. God bless.
