Help Paulo pay for emergency hernia repair at Brasília Community Hospital
Paulo needs emergency hernia repair at Brasília Community Hospital and the family is $2,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

Paulo was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Brasília Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,050 short.
my son has been in and out of Brasília Community Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Paulo struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Paulo won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
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 $2,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $500
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $175
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Wagner. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Stay strong, Wagner. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Brescia donated after I showed her your page. Love from Brescia.
