Bogdana's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $2,350 of the cost.

In June I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Kazan University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,350 short. Doctors at Kazan University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $2,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $920 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $930 • Travel and lodging for the family: $185 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Bogdana

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($918 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
