Fabiana was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at São Paulo General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,450 short. my wife has been in and out of São Paulo General Hospital since December. 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 $3,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fabiana 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Fabiana 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 $2,450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,000 • Physiotherapy sessions: $210 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170 Every share and every dollar helps.
