Surgery fund for Priscila: spinal decompression surgery in Duque de Caxias

Priscila was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Duque de Caxias General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,600 short. my mother has been in and out of Duque de Caxias General Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Priscila struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Priscila won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $130 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Mariana
