Isabela was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in March. The surgeon at Belo Horizonte University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,700 short. my mother has been in and out of Belo Horizonte University Hospital since March. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isabela struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Isabela won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,700 goes: โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $690 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $100 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $910 I hope life is good to you. - Marcos
