In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Uberlândia Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,400 short. Doctors at Uberlândia Community Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $750 • Post-operative medication: $85 Thank you for reading my story.
