Maria's Nursing Expenses

It is NOT easy for me to ask for help, but here I am, needing help,
and asking.

I live in the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, I'm 63 years old.

I am about to have major surgery to remove a Chordoma tumor from my coxis.

I have very large medical expenses, and right now I do not have all the money I need.

I’ll require extensive nursing care during the post surgical period, and it is for this that I am asking donations. I was diagnosed five years ago with a bone spur on my tail bone.

It turned out it is not a bone spur, it is the Chordoma tumor mentioned above. I have done very intense therapies, trying to reduce it, and I have spent a lot of money doing so, not covered by insurance.  After more than a year, I am almost bed ridden, but I am a strong person, and I am very positive.

Below is a breakdown of my projected nursing care.

First 15 days in hospital.

Will require three nurses (three shifts). 

$650.00 pesos each per day.

$1,950.00 pesos per day.

$1,950.00 x 15 = $29,250.00 pesos.

$29,250.00 = $1,625.00 US Dollars.


Second 15 days in hospital.

Will require two nurses. (two shifts).

$650.00 pesos each per day.

$1,300.00 pesos per day.

$1,300.00 x 15 = $19,500.00 pesos.

$19,500.00 = $1,100.00 US Dollars.


Second Month.

Will require one nurse. (one shift day).

$650.00 pesos per day (day).

Will require one assistant nurse (one shift night).

$250.00 per day.

$900.00 for both per day.

$900.00 x 30 = $27,000 pesos.

$27,000.00 = $1,500.00 US Dollars.


Two months nursing.

Total.

$4,225.00

 Again, this is NOT easy for me to do, none of this is easy, but asking for help feels somehow right to me, despite the fact that it is difficult because I NEED help.
