Luiz was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Campinas Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my father has been in and out of Campinas Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luiz struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Luiz won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $420 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $205 Thank you so much. - Camila

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($903 in total) the plan for post-operative medication is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
