Sofia's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Sofia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Malmö Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,450 short. my mother has been in and out of Malmö Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sofia struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Sofia 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 $6,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,250 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Post-operative medication: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 I hope life is good to you.
