Help Gabriel pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Fortaleza Orthopedic Institute

Gabriel was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Fortaleza Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Fortaleza Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gabriel struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Gabriel won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $170 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Vinícius
