Help Regina pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Campinas Regional Medical Center

Regina was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at Campinas Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Campinas Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Regina struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Regina won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $130 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $180 Glad we found this place. - Sérgio
