Eliane was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in December. The surgeon at Vitória da Conquista General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,900, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,450 short. my mother has been in and out of Vitória da Conquista General Hospital since December. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eliane 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Eliane 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 $1,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $395 Thanks for reading all this.

        Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
