Teresa was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Cartagena University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Cartagena University Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Teresa struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Teresa won't be able to drive, 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 $900 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $620 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
