Surgery fund for Luca: spinal decompression surgery in Naples

Luca was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Naples General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,800 short. my son has been in and out of Naples General Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luca struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Luca 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 $3,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,270 Glad we found this place. - Riccardo
