Help Mariana pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Campinas General Hospital

Mariana was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in March. The surgeon at Campinas General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $600 short. my mother has been in and out of Campinas General Hospital since March. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mariana struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 7 weeks. During that time Mariana won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $145 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $400 Every share and every dollar helps.
