Help Rosângela pay for gallbladder removal at Campinas Regional Medical Center

Campinas
Rosângela was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Campinas Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Campinas Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rosângela struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Rosângela won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Travel and lodging for the family: $120 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $940 • Physiotherapy sessions: $175 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
