Kelly's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Kelly was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at São Paulo University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,450 short. my sister has been in and out of São Paulo University Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kelly struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Kelly won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Post-operative medication: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $945 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
