Help me pay for a craniotomy at Naples Regional Medical Center
Monica needs a craniotomy at Naples Regional Medical Center and the family is $4,750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇹 Naples, Campania, ItalyPosted Aug 15, 2026443 views
In July I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Naples Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,750 short.
Doctors at Naples Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $4,750 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
• Travel and lodging for the family: $250
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,980
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Soweto.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Monica
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital stay (2 nights) comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending strength, Monica. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from New York.
wishing you peace, Monica. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Naples.
