Ronaldo was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Juazeiro do Norte Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,850, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,700 short. my son has been in and out of Juazeiro do Norte Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ronaldo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ronaldo 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 $1,700 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $690 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Post-operative medication: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $195 • Travel and lodging for the family: $130 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
