I need TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY surgery, I need help with the costs that are high and I can't afford it alone.

I was born with developmental dysplasia of the hip which, because it was not corrected in time, became a dislocation. Thanks to my mother's faith and blessed doctors, I got a quick and painless treatment.

I followed my whole life normally and with the discovery of pregnancy and weight gain I developed COXARTRROSIS.

Since then I have been feeling a lot of pain, which makes it impossible for me to walk correctly and do basic day-to-day activities.

Due to this diagnosis, I need surgery to place a titanium prosthesis that will replace the head of the femur. This intervention is essential for me to recover my mobility and quality of life. However, the cost of the surgery and associated medical care is high and beyond my financial means. I currently live in Portugal and the waiting list for this surgery through the SNS is at least 2 years and if I wait this period I will be subject to loss of mobility and problems with the other leg.

About the author

My name is Amanda Barca, I'm 25 years old, I'm married to a Portuguese man and I have a beautiful 4 month old daughter.

I'm Brazilian, from the interior of São Paulo but I've been living in Oeiras, Lisbon for a year and a half and I'm in love with Portugal and its traditions.
I've always liked to visit different places and my dream has always been to be a mother, I made that dream come true but I can't walk with my daughter in my arms or bend down to play with her on the floor and unfortunately I still haven't been able to enjoy many places because I'm having trouble walking around a long time, but as soon as I perform the surgery I will know every corner.

Budget and due dates

Surgery is due August 10, 2023.
The total amount is €18,693.00

Prosthesis: €11,350.00

Hospital costs: €7,343.00

The rest of the money I'm getting by other means.
