Arthur was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in February. The surgeon at Santos Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,800 short. my son has been in and out of Santos Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Arthur 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Arthur won't be able to look after the children alone, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $690 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Post-operative medication: $130 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $120 Thanks for reading all this. - Antônio
