Surgery fund for Carolina: palate reconstruction surgery in Niterói

Carolina was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,850, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,150 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carolina struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Carolina won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $930 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $640 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Post-operative medication: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $185 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Thanks for reading all this.
