Help Aparecida pay for septoplasty at São Paulo Community Hospital

Aparecida was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in April. The surgeon at São Paulo Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,150 short. my wife has been in and out of São Paulo Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Aparecida struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Aparecida won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,150 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $530 • Physiotherapy sessions: $230 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Vinícius
