Help Viviane pay for gallbladder removal at Belo Horizonte Community Hospital

Viviane was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Belo Horizonte Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,850, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Belo Horizonte Community Hospital since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Viviane struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Viviane won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $610 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $130 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ronaldo
