Duque de Caxias
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.
