Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Campinas Regional Medical Center

In April I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Campinas Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,900 short. Doctors at Campinas Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $800 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $580 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Enzo
