Emiliano was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Aurora Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,300 short.
my son has been in and out of Aurora Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Emiliano struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Emiliano won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,200
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390
• Post-operative medication: $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $330
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you. Wishing Emiliano a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Nashik.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bergamo this morning. Love from Bergamo.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 10 people at work!
