Caxias do Sul
Carolina was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Caxias do Sul University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Caxias do Sul University Hospital since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carolina struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 7 weeks. During that time Carolina won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $85 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $730 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,020 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
