Sofia's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Sofia needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Naples Orthopedic Institute and the family is $3,650 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇹 Naples, Campania, Italy3,440 views
Sofia was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Naples Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,650 short.
my wife has been in and out of Naples Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sofia 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sofia 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 $3,650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $970
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $195
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $550
• Travel and lodging for the family: $215
Thanks for being kind about this.

rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Best of luck, Gennaro. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Riyadh.
You're not alone, Gennaro. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
