Help Camila pay for cataract surgery at Contagem University Hospital
Camila needs cataract surgery at Contagem University Hospital and the family is $2,500 short of the hospital's estimate.

Camila was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Contagem University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,500 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Contagem University Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,550 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Camila struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 6 weeks. During that time Camila 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 $2,500 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,000
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Nairobi.
hang in there, Wagner. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Rajkot
Take care. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Stay strong. Wishing Camila a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
