Luciana was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in December. The surgeon at São Paulo Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of São Paulo Community Hospital since December. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luciana 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Luciana won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mateus
