Help Fernanda pay for septoplasty at Santos Regional Medical Center
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Fernanda was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Fernanda was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Santos Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,600 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Santos Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fernanda struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 3 weeks. During that time Fernanda won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $990
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $230
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $185
• Post-operative medication: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Murilo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Hang in there, Murilo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope July is when things finally get easier
Sending love, Murilo. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 25 people at work.
