Surgery fund for Francisco: palate reconstruction surgery in Recife

Francisco was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Recife Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,450 short. my father has been in and out of Recife Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Francisco struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Francisco won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $940 • Post-operative medication: $130 Thanks for being kind about this.
