Help Luana pay for knee replacement surgery at São Paulo Regional Medical Center

Luana was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at São Paulo Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of São Paulo Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luana 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Luana 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 $1,350 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $590 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Post-operative medication: $100 Glad we found this place. - Vanessa
