Murilo's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a large ovarian cyst, Murilo was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In November I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,350, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,400 short.
Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,350 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $1,400 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $115
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $530
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $655
With deep gratitude,
Murilo
