Help Edson pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center

Edson was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,850, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,300 short. my son has been in and out of Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Edson struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Edson won't be able to drive, 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 $2,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $185 • Travel and lodging for the family: $120 Every share and every dollar helps. - Viviane
