Help Tiago pay for knee replacement surgery at Guarulhos Regional Medical Center

Tiago was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Guarulhos Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $430, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $300 short. my son has been in and out of Guarulhos Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $430 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tiago struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Tiago won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Post-operative medication: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
