ACL reconstruction for Andrei: covering what insurance won't
Andrei needs ACL reconstruction at Moscow University Hospital and the family is $700 short of the hospital's estimate.

Andrei was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Moscow University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $700 short.
my brother has been in and out of Moscow University Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Andrei struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Andrei won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $700 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $380
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
• Physiotherapy sessions: $210
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts, Volodymyr. Looking forward to the next update.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Moscow
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Moscow
Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Moscow.
