Beatriz's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After an aortic valve defect, Beatriz was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Beatriz was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in March. The surgeon at Duque de Caxias Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,800 short.
my sister has been in and out of Duque de Caxias Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Beatriz 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 3 weeks. During that time Beatriz 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 $1,800 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $820
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $840
• Post-operative medication: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Ronaldo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,032 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($265 in total) the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace, Ronaldo. Get well soon. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Good luck, Ronaldo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
Thanks for sharing this, Ronaldo. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
