Help Gustavo pay for septoplasty at Guarulhos Orthopedic Institute

Gustavo was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Guarulhos Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $430, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $300 short. my son has been in and out of Guarulhos Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $430 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gustavo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Gustavo won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Every share and every dollar helps. - Vanessa
