Júlia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at São Paulo Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,400 short.
my wife has been in and out of São Paulo Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Júlia 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Júlia won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $940
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $870
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $120
• Physiotherapy sessions: $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $145
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Gustavo. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of São Paulo.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Chennai.
Hope things get better soon, Gustavo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of São Paulo
Good luck, Gustavo. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 35 people at work.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
