Surgery fund for Lorena: spinal decompression surgery in Contagem

Lorena was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Contagem Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Contagem Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lorena struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Lorena won't be able to drive, 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 $2,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $890 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $165 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Wagner
