Andriy was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Lviv Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. 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 husband has been in and out of Lviv Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Andriy struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Andriy won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $575 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Sending strength, Kateryna. Wishing Andriy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
