Help me pay for septoplasty at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

Márcia needs septoplasty at Saint Elizabeth Hospital and the family is $1,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,450, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,850 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,450 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $1,850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $375 With deep gratitude, Márcia

Updates from Márcia

  1. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($190). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward travel and lodging for the family.

  2. Update from São Paulo: I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
