After a hernia that has become strangulated, Ginevra was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ginevra was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Palermo University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,900 short.
my mother has been in and out of Palermo University Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ginevra struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ginevra 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 $3,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,800
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Physiotherapy sessions: $260
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
