Leandro's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Leandro was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Londrina University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,400, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,050 short. my son has been in and out of Londrina University Hospital since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Leandro struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Leandro won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $760 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.
