Help Amanda pay for a craniotomy at Ribeirão Preto Orthopedic Institute

Amanda was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Ribeirão Preto Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,100 short. my wife has been in and out of Ribeirão Preto Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Amanda struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Amanda won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $915 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
