Patrícia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in October. The surgeon at Olinda Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,950, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Olinda Orthopedic Institute since October. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Patrícia struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Patrícia won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,200 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $710 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $290 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Fernando
