Sandra's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sandra was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in November. The surgeon at São Paulo General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my sister has been in and out of São Paulo General Hospital since November. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sandra struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Sandra won't be able to drive, 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 $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $725 Thank you for reading my story. - Renato
