Vinícius was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in April. The surgeon at São Paulo Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short.
my son has been in and out of São Paulo Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vinícius 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Vinícius 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710
• Post-operative medication: $95
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $145
With deep gratitude,
Mariana

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Zanzibar City
Wishing Vinícius a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Kathmandu
Good luck, Mariana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
